    Data Management:Disable the sensitive data protection feature

    Last Updated:May 26, 2025

    If you no longer need to use the sensitive data protection feature to protect sensitive data in a database instance, you can disable the feature for the database instance. This topic describes how to disable the sensitive data protection feature.

    Prerequisites

    Your system role is a Data Management (DMS) administrator, a database administrator (DBA), or a security administrator.

    Usage notes

    • After the feature is disabled for a database instance, sensitive data on the database instance is not protected. The data classification information, data sensitivity levels, and masking rule configurations on the database instance are deleted. Proceed with caution.

      Note

      After the feature is disabled for a database instance, no modifications are made to the database instance or the data in the database instance. The database instance still runs as expected in DMS.

    • If you are charged for the feature based on the pay-as-you-go billing method, you continue to be charged for the feature after the feature is disabled. In this case, you can unsubscribe from the feature. For more information, see Unsubscribe from billable features.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to the DMS console V5.0.

    2. Disable the sensitive data protection feature for a database instance.

          Note

          If you use the DMS console in normal mode, choose Security and Specifications (DBS) > Sensitive Data > Sensitive Data Assets in the top navigation bar.

        2. In the Instance List section of the Sensitive Data Assets page, click the Enabled tab. Select Authorized from the authorization drop-down list.
