Data Masking Using Page Field Configurator

Important requirements:

1)      You should have PFC Data Masking Admin role [If you don’t have this role, you won’t be able to see configuration type: Mask]

2)      PeopleTools 8.57.11 or higher

To know basics of Page Field Configurator: Page field configuration

Step 1: Define Mask Profiles

Navigation: Enterprise Components > Page and Field Configuration > Define Mask Profiles

While a few Mask Profiles come delivered, you are free to define new ones based on your requirements. Oracle delivers four types of mask profiles

Step 2: Define Field Groups

Navigation: Enterprise Components > Page and Field Configuration > Define Field Groups

Field Groups allow grouping of fields with similar masking requirements.  The mask profile assigned to the field group serves as the default for the field.  

Step3: Configuring Data Masking using PFC

Navigation: Enterprise Components > Page and Field Configuration > Page and Field Configurator

When we now go to PFC, we can see two type of configuration 

When we add a new component, we get options for the configuration.

Examples:

Standard Configuration All other non-masking configurations use a configuration type of Standard.

Masking Configuration Apply Additively is selected by default which allows multiple sequences to be executed if the criteria are satisfied.

·       The EFFDT field is masked Year Mask by default, as it was added in the Field Group.

·       Job Code is not added in any Field Group, hence, is FULL Mask by default.

Step4: User List

Define the list of users to whom the configuration needs to be applied using the User List page.

Only selected users to see the configurations. In this example, the Benefits Administrator should see unmasked data and is excluded from the configuration using the User List tab.

Step5:

Map the configurations to the corresponding portal registry entries using the Map Configuration to Portal Registry page.

Once the configuration is complete, click on Apply Configuration.

MASKING RESULTS:

Included userid: Test( and user with PFC Admin role)

Job Code is Full Masked

Effective Date Year’s is Masked

Excluded users - Benefit Administrator

There is no masking.
