Anonymizing user data supports the enterprise to meet requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By means of pseudonymization, user data can be replaced with an artificial identifier to ensure anonymity if the user leaves the enterprise.

Anonymization substitutes the user's user name and technical name with a key number, removes the email address and the user picture, and substitutes all personal user data like name, address, and telephone number with a random string.

Anonymized users are listed with the anonymized values in User Administration and in all views that show user data (for example, when providing information about role assignments or user group memberships).

Anonymizing data is a sensitive process that cannot be reverted!

In User Administration, select the users whose data you want to anonymize. Click Action > Anonymize User.
