ScopedDCManager- Scoped

The ScopedDCManager API enables you to group data by type.

Using this API you can:

Assign data classifications to existing dictionary entries.
Look up the data classifications for specific dictionary entries.
Remove all data classifications associated with specific dictionary entries.
Retrieve a list of all data classifications available in the current domain.

This API requires the Data Classification [com.glide.data_classification] plugin.

For more information, see Data Classification.

ScopedDCManager - classify(String dictEntries, String dataClasses)

Assigns pre-defined or user-defined data classifications to existing dictionary entries.

Requires the admin or data_classification_admin role.

Name	Type	Description
dictEntries	String	Sys\_ids of the records you want to classify. Entered as a comma-separated list enclosed in a string. Table: Dictionary \[sys\_dictionary\] table
dataClasses	String	Sys\_ids of the data classifications you want to assign. Entered as a comma-separated list enclosed in a string. Table: Data Classification \[data\_classification\]

Type	Description
String	Message describing the result of the operation.

This example finds records containing social security numbers and classifies the records as confidential.

var dcm = new global.ScopedDCManager();
var confidentialClass = {};
var ssnFields = [];
var dataClasses = JSON.parse(dcm.getAllDataClasses());

// Get the Confidential data class record
dataClasses.forEach(function (dataClass) {
  if (dataClass.name == "Confidential")
    confidentialClass = dataClass;
});

// Find the fields that seem to be strong social security numbers
var dictionaryGR = new GlideRecord("sys_dictionary");
dictionaryGR.addQuery("element", "ssn").addOrCondition("element", "social_security_number");
dictionaryGR.query();
while (dictionaryGR.next())
  ssnFields.push(dictionaryGR.getUniqueValue());

// Classify any found entries as confidential
if (ssnFields.length > 0)
  dcm.classify(ssnFields.join(), confidentialClass.sys_id);

Output:

"Successfully stored the data classification configurations"

ScopedDCManager - clearClassification(String dictEntries)

Removes all data classifications for the specified dictionary entries.

Requires the admin or data_classification_admin role.

Name	Type	Description
dictEntries	String	Sys\_ids of the records you want to remove classifications from. Entered as a comma-separated list enclosed in a string. Table: Dictionary \[sys\_dictionary\]

Type	Description
String	Message describing the result of the operation.

This example removes the data classification for a dictionary entry.

var dcm = new global.ScopedDCManager();
gs.info(dcm.clearClassification("445de0a6dba30300efc57416bf9619b0"));

Output:

"Classifications removed for the specified dictionary entries"

ScopedDCManager - getAllDataClasses()

Returns a list of all data classifications available in the current domain.

Requires the admin, data_classification_admin, or data_classification_auditor role.

Name	Type	Description
None

Type	Description
<Array>	Result of the request. Returns the sys\_id and name for each available data classification. If there are no data classifications, it returns an empty array. Data classifications can be organized into parent-child relationships. If there are parent data classifications, they are identified in the result. Data type: Array ``` [ { "parent": {Object}, "sys_id": "String", "name": "String" } ] </td></tr><tr><td> <Array>.parent </td><td> Entry for a parent data classification.Data type: Object ``` "parent": { "sys_id": "String", "name": "String" }
<Array>.parent.sys\_id	Sys\_id of the parent data classification from the Data Classification \[data\_classification\] table.Data type: String
<Array>.parent.name	Name of the parent data classification.Data type: String
<Array>.sys\_id	Sys\_id of the data classification from the Data Classification \[data\_classification\] table.Data type: String
<Array>.name	Name of the data classification.Data type: String

This example retrieves a list of all available data classifications.

var dcm = new global.ScopedDCManager();
gs.info(dcm.getAllDataClasses());

Output:

    "parent": {
      "sys_id": "a9670fc773fc1010ae8dd21efaf6a735",
      "name": "Confidential"

ScopedDCManager - getClassification(String dictEntries)

Retrieves all data classifications for the specified dictionary entries.

Requires the admin, data_classification_admin, or data_classification_auditor role.

Name	Type	Description
dictEntries	String	Sys\_ids of the records you want to retrieve classifications for. Entered as a comma-separated list enclosed in a string. Table: Dictionary \[sys\_dictionary\]

This example retrieves the data classifications for a dictionary entry.

var dcm = new global.ScopedDCManager();
gs.info(dcm.getClassification("445de0a6dba30300efc57416bf9619b0"));
