    Data Management:Adjust the sensitivity level of fields

    Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

    Data Management (DMS) lets you manually raise or lower the sensitivity level of table fields directly from the SQLConsole tab. Use this when the automatic scan misclassified a field, or when a business change means a field no longer requires the same level of protection.

    Prerequisites

    Before you begin, make sure you have:

    Usage notes

    After you adjust sensitivity levels, the following rules apply:

    • Display: Medium and High sensitivity fields on which you have no permissions appear as asterisks (*) or in a custom masked format on the SQLConsole tab.

    • Access: To query, export, or change Medium or High sensitivity fields, apply for the required permissions.

    • Approval: A database administrator (DBA) or DMS administrator can configure special approval processes for exporting or changing data that contains Medium or High sensitivity fields.

    • Approval behavior:

      • Raising the sensitivity level is automatically approved.

      • Lowering the sensitivity level requires approval based on the configured process.

    For details on sensitivity levels, see Field sensitivity level.

    Adjust the sensitivity level

    1. Log in to DMS 5.0.

    2. In the top navigation bar, choose SQL Console > SQL Console.

      • Table details: Click the 表详情 icon in the upper-right corner of the database instance details page. Locate the table, then choose More > Security level adjustment in the Actions column. Adjust the sensitivity level of the fields, then click Submit for Security Department Approval.
