What are the steps to deploy DataMasker?
Can DataMasker run in PROD (I hope NOT 🤞)
DataMasker is deployed in PROD so that it gets copied into every refreshed sandbox org. To ensure that DataMasker NEVER runs in a PROD Salesforce Org, we have constraints built into it.
DataMasker uses a Salesforce standards-based approach(isSandbox) when masking is initiated. It only runs if it detects that the Org is a Dev or a Sandbox Org.
No matter how masking is initiated – By clicking the ‘Run Masking’ Button or through the APEX or REST API – DataMasker will NOT run in a PROD org.
Appended is a screenshot of the error users will see if masking is triggered in PROD from the button ‘Run Masking’.
Appended is the REST response indicating that DataMasker execution is prohibited in Production Org.
