Anonymize#
How do I set up Anonymize?#
A procedure is available to help you set up this plugin.
How does Anonymize work?#
This plugin enables data to be anonymised in GLPI, directly from the web interface or from the command line, either individually or on a massive scale. It adds anonymisation profiles that allow you to select the attributes that will be anonymised (computer creation date, user email address, ticket tracking, etc.).
Can I create new profiles?#
There are 4 default profiles, but you can create as many as you like. A procedure is available to help you.
Can I go back once the profile has been applied?#
No. Once anonymisation has been carried out, it is not possible to go back. You will have to recreate the elements with their original values.
If I deactivate the plugin, will the data be restored to their original values?#
No. Once the values have been anonymised, the attributes will remain anonymous. Deactivating the plugin will not change your values.
What types of data can be anonymised?#
Depending on the profile you choose or create, you can anonymise a whole list of data. They can be consulted in the procedure available here
How can I anonymise some information and keep others on the same profile?#
An element has several fields. For example, a user has several fields such as surname, first name, telephone number, address, etc. For each field, you can decide to :
- Keep the value,
- delete the value,
- replace with a fixed value,
- replace with a standard random value,
- replace with a realistic random value.
How do I anonymise a field that is not present in the selected profile?#
In the profile concerned, the option attributes to be searched for and replaced throughout the database
is available. For example, if you select email
, all the email fields in the entire database will be replaced.
Why hasn't my profile been applied?#
Check that the fields in your profile have a value other than keep
so that anaonymise can modify the desired fields.
