Roll back a data privacy job on your non-production instance that uses anonymized
data from your production instance to a state prior to de-identification of a data class or
user job.

## Before you begin

Role required: data_privacy_admin or data_privacy_processor, and admin

## Procedure

1. Elevate to the data_privacy_processor or data_privacy_admin role.  
   For details on role elevation, see [Elevate to a privileged
   role](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Iq1l5cI8dgYOyrcy3wkCgQ "The base system admin can elevate to a privileged role to have access to the features of High Security Settings.").
2. Navigate to AllSystem SecurityData PrivacyData Privacy Job.  
   Note:  
   In advance, a data privacy policy configuration that supports rollback must be created. [Create a data privacy policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/OND~wG3~pBNx2~WTAtHr9g "Configure a data privacy policy to specify which data privacy techniques are used when anonymizing your data.").
3. Create a data privacy job and select a Privacy Configuration that supports Rollback.  
   See [Configure a data privacy job](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/DfFzVWf8f_kJdJL5EHWepQ "Configure a data privacy job on your production instance to use anonymized data on your non-production instance for user and data class jobs.").
4. Schedule the job for data anonymization.  
   * After the job has run, the data will be anonymized for the selected configuration.
   * A message displays in the job informing of the expiration time. Within the expiry period you have the ability to roll back the job.![Data privacy job rollback expiration time message.]()
