How do I enable anonymization for Analytics reports?

Purpose

Data anonymization uses hashing to obscure specific sensitive information in the auxiliary database tables so that a non-admin NSP user with an anonymization role can access only encrypted information, such as the IP address.

Note:

  • Reports do not return data when anonymized attributes are prompts in the report.

  • Drill-down reports do not return data when the drill-down parameter is an anonymized attribute.

Contact your Nokia support representative for information about which tables or table columns to anonymize based on your privacy needs.

Configure and assign the anonymization role to the NSP user.
