The key distinctions between encryption and masking on the Data Management page are as follows:

• On the Data Management page, when you edit a user attribute, the Edit User attribute pop-up window appears. Under Data Privacy Configuration, you can find the options for masking and encryption.
• If the Encrypt attribute setting is turned on, the Mask attribute setting is enabled automatically. You cannot turn the Mask attribute off.
• If the Encrypt attribute setting is turned off, the Mask attribute setting is turned off by default. You can choose to turn the Mask attribute setting on or off independently.
• If only the Mask attribute setting is turned on, the data is masked but not encrypted.
