Hi Experts,
I am facing issue in field encryption even though I have the encryption context role assigned to my profile i cant see the value for the encrypted field it appears blank with a lock icon.
What could be wrong please help. we are doing only field encryption....
1. I created encryption context- 'context enc'
2. Created a new role- 'encryption role'
3. added the role to the 'context enc'
4. Changed the existing string type field to encryption type. kept the same length or bit more.
5. Logged out and logged in again
But when i view the field appears to be locked and empty..i cant see the value?
Please help

Hi there, I found this thread when I was looking for the same answer. I also found the issue to my problem and that is that you can not see the field even if you impersonate the user with the role.
To verify that it was working like it should, I had to log out and log in as the user with that role and then go to the form where the encrypted field was.
Good luck and hope this solves your issue!
