Unprotect Database Fields

The procedure for removing CS:Govern protection from a field is quite simple.

  1. Choose the field(s) to unprotect.
  2. Tell CS:Govern to remove protection from the field(s).
  3. Use a Custodian to unmask the field(s).

Choose the Field(s) and Unprotect Them

Open the Edit Field Rules or View Field Rules tab and uncheck the field(s) to remove them from CS:Govern protection.

Unmask Field(s)

When a field is removed from CS:Govern protection, new and updated values will be stored directly in the corresponding CopyStorm table BUT records masked before the removal of protection will still be masked.

  • CapStorm applications respect CS:Govern masking rules in real-time and will automatically begin using unmasked values for all subsequent data inserts or updates.
  • CS:Govern automatically creates a Custodian which will unmask every value safely even while other database updates are in progress.

To return a field completely to its unmasked state, run the Custodian which was created.
