Disabling SQL Dynamic Data Masking for the CommServe

Hi Community, 

 

I’m currently forwarding logs from Commvault with a external monitoring tool, and then use a DB Connect tool for this. 

After a recent upgrade, I can see that my queries for the view [CommServ].[dbo].[CommCellBackupInfo] is now being masked for the variable clientname. It now shows, for example: “eexxxxom”. instead of “example.com”. I found this KB: SQL Dynamic Data Masking about this.

Questions I have relating to this are:

  • What privilege does the user need to have for this to not mask? Currently, I have “read-only” rights, which only have rights to read and connect to the database. What else would I need for this to work?
  • Or, are there any way to disable this in Commvault/the SQL database in the CommServe?

Kind regards,

Daniel
