This endpoint can be used to anonymize the data of one or multiple selected Alfabet users.
- The user that will execute the RESTful service call must have the permissions required to execute anonymization. These permissions are only available on request. Please contact Alfabet Support to grant the required permissions.
- The user is not excluded from anonymization.
You can check whether the user is excluded from anonymization in the Account Management > User Administration functionality of the Portfolio Admin user profile. Select the user, click Edit and check whether the Exclude from Anonymization checkbox is selected.
Data anonymization is an irreversible action!
