Questions

Anonymization

Given increasing concerns about data privacy, is data anonymization on the roadmap and how will it work?Support for more granular permissions has been added in Metadb 1.4: see https://gist.github.com/nassibnassar/9e8e63383db1dac0634b0cf371254dec

There is some loan anonymization functionality in FOLIO settings and there are plans to do the same for Requests
- Is metadb anonymization being developed with that interdependence in mind, or is it going to be an independent feature?
Will there be a feature to turn off the historical row creation for Metadb (as you can for LDP)?Will there be a feature to make patron identifiers (e.g., user_id, requester_id) NULL in historical rows?
If we need to recover from our data anonymization processes, what will be required and what are our losses?
Should we take snapshot of the database every time we run update scripts to anonymize data by replacing patron identifiers with NULL?

User Permissions

Support for more granular permissions has been added in Metadb 1.4: see https://gist.github.com/nassibnassar/9e8e63383db1dac0634b0cf371254dec
Are there ways that this new functionality can support our goal of removing access to patron identifiers in our Metadb reporting database?
Would it be possible to develop user permission functionality for Metadb that corresponds to user permissions in FOLIO?
