Database User Permissions for executing Masking and Profiling Jobs

Introduction

This section provides the recommended list of permissions required for executing Masking and Profiling jobs on the Delphix Masking Engine. This page provides general permission recommendations. The subsequent pages in this section provide detailed recommendations for specific databases.

Recommend creating a separate Database user (i.e. named Masking User) to be created across all the databases with the appropriate permissions on the schemas to be masked. If needed create multiple users. The appropriate permissions for the database Masking User are listed below.

The benefits of having a separate DB Masking User:

  • Replicating the new user (and privileges) are easier
  • Access Audits are much easier
  • Can be created as a central AD user and used at many places simultaneously
