HI Puja -
We have recently connected with ServiceNow team to understand the column_level_encryption
Note - Role elevation Required to start
you navigate sys_platform_encryption_configuration.LIST
Please note if you are using single module for encryption you need to specifically give the module name and the role associated with that module in sys_kmf_crypto_caller_policy table will be the key to the user to access encrypted data.
EG: if you encrypt using global.cm_citrix profile module the user needs to have citrix_app_admin role
However if you use multiple modules method then you should NOT explicitly mention the module name. The user having any role that is key to available modules will have access to encrypted data.
Example : we have created module on sc_cart table for attachment encryption
Please mark Helpful
