A nonprofit stores a government-issued personal identification number on each constituent's Contact record in an encrypted field.
What should a consultant enable on a Permission Set to ensure the personal identification number is fully accessible by a subset of org users'?
To ensure that a subset of users can fully access the government-issued personal identification numbers stored in encrypted fields on Contact records, you must enable the 'View Encrypted Data' permission in a permission set. This permission allows users to see the actual encrypted data instead of a masked value.
Steps to Enable:
Create or Edit a Permission Set:
Navigate to Setup -> Permission Sets.
Create a new permission set or edit an existing one.
Enable View Encrypted Data:
In the permission set, go to System Permissions.
Enable the 'View Encrypted Data' permission.
Assign Permission Set:
Assign the permission set to the appropriate users who need to access the encrypted data.
