# Anonymize ## Requirements (self-hosted) | GLPI Version | Minimum PHP | Recommended | | ------------ | ----------- | ----------- | | 10.0.x | 8.1 | 8.2 | | 11.0.x | 8.2 | 8.4 | {% hint style="info" %} A [GLPI Network BASIC](https://services.glpi-network.com/#offers) subscription (or higher) is required. This plugin is also available for all GLPI Network [Cloud instances](https://glpi-network.cloud). {% endhint %} *** ## Install the plugin * Go to the marketplace. Download and install the "\[Anonymize]{.title-ref}" plugin.

*** ## Choice of profile Anonymisation works by profile. There are 4 profiles already created. When you select a profile, a certain amount of data is already set. They can, of course, be modified. * Go to **Administration** > **Anonymization profile** and select the profile best suited to your needs: The 4 profiles you will find are : * Email * Entity * Computer * User profile

*** ## Anonymisable data per profile (predefined) Each profile has an element assigned to it. You will need to define the value of each attribute that it will be able to anonymise (or not)

### User
User fields * name * password * password\_last\_update * phone * phone2 * mobile * realname * firstname * locations\_id * language * use\_mode * is\_active * comment * auths\_id * authtype * last\_login * date\_mod * date\_sync * profiles\_id * entities\_id * usertitles\_id * usercategories\_id * password\_forget\_token * password\_forget\_token\_date * user\_dn * personal\_token * personal\_token\_date * api\_token * api\_token\_date * cookie\_token * cookie\_token\_date * isd\_ldap * picture * begin\_date * end\_date * page\_layout * fold\_menu * fold\_search * savedsearches\_pinned * timeline\_order * itil\_layout * richtext\_layout * date\_creation * groups\_id * users\_id\_supervisor * timezone * default\_central\_tab * nickname * timeline\_action\_btn\_layout * timeline\_date\_format * use\_flat\_dropdowntree\_on\_search\_result
*** ## Application strategy Several strategies are available for each element field (e.g.Last name, First name, Serial number, Location, Status, etc.): * Keep the value * Delete the value * Replace with a fixed value * Replace with a standard random value * Replace with a realistic random value *** ## History Each profile allows you to choose the treatment to be applied to the history of items: * Do nothing * Clean up values * Clean up recent values and delete the rest * Delete *** ## Global search You can ask GLPI to anoymise an attribute in the whole database and not only in the type of element you are in. The option **attributes to search and replace in others objects** is at the very bottom of your profile.
images/Anonymize-4.png
{% hint style="info" %} You cannot change any values other than those linked to the type of element you are in. For example, you will be able to **modify all email addresses** in the database via the **Email** profile, but you will not be able to modify all user phone number via this profile. {% endhint %} *** ## Applying the profile Once you have completed your profile, you need to apply it. It can be applied using 2 methods: * Massive action via the web interface (*cloud and on-premise*) * In CLI (*only on-premise*) ### Mass action (Cloud and on-premise) In our example, we will be anonymising \[user data]{.title-ref}. * Go to **Administration** > **Users**. Select the user(s) you wish to anonymise. * Click on **Actions** then **anonymise selected items**.
images/Anonymize-5.gif
{% hint style="info" %} "To be adapted If your profile concerns entities, go to **Administration** > **Entities** and repeat the operation for the entities concerned. Do the same for computers, email, etc. {% endhint %} ### Via CLI (on-premise only) * Go to your GLPI folder (\[/var/www/glpi]{.title-ref} or other depending on your configuration): * Run all default profiles on all objects: ``` $ php bin/console glpi:plugin:anonymize --all ``` * Run profile X on all objects / on one object: ``` $ php bin/console glpi:plugin:anonymize --profile=X $ php bin/console glpi:plugin:anonymize --profile=X --item-id=X ``` * Run default profile type X on all objects / on one object : ``` $ php bin/console glpi:plugin:anonymize --itemtype=X $ php bin/console glpi:plugin:anonymize --itemtype=X --item-id=X ``` *** ## Creating a profile You can create a profile to anonymise other data than that mentioned above. * Go to **Administration > Anonymisation profile** * Click on **Add** * Name your profile * Choose from the list of **Element types** (agent, domain, etc.) * Select the treatment of the **History** * Set the parameters for each field * Click on **Add** {% hint style="info" %} Remember to refer to the profile application section to apply your changes. {% endhint %} *** ## Other anonymisable data (profile creation) ### Agents
