Can I hide user-identifying information in reports?

There are 2 ways to configure your software to omit user-identifying information from reports:

  • If you sometimes need to generate reports that contain user information, but sometimes need to generate anonymous reports, use the Anonymous option at the top of the Investigative Reports page in the Forcepoint Security Manager to hide user names and, optionally, source IP addresses temporarily.
  • If some administrators need access to reports that include user information, but other administrators should never see user information, use delegated administration roles to control reporting access. You can configure roles to grant access to investigative reports, but hide user names in reports.
  • The most absolute method is to prevent the logging of user names and source IP addresses. In this case, no user-identifying information is recorded in the Log Database, making it impossible for investigative or presentation reports to include the information. See Anonymous logging, for instructions.
