Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You manage an Azure SQL Database named SalesDB that contains a table called Payments. A dynamic data-masking rule masks the CreditCardNumber column for all database users. A nightly reporting job that connects with the login ReportSvc must continue to see the complete credit-card numbers, but no other additional permissions are required. Which action should you perform?
Enable Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) on SalesDB.
Change the masking function on CreditCardNumber from Default to Email.
Add the ReportSvc user to the built-in db_datareader role in SalesDB.
Grant the UNMASK permission on the SalesDB database to the ReportSvc user.
Dynamic data masking hides sensitive data unless a principal has the UNMASK permission or is a member of a high-privilege role such as db_owner. Granting the database-level UNMASK permission to the ReportSvc login (or contained user) allows that principal to view the original values while leaving the masking rule in place for all other users. Adding the account to roles such as db_datareader or db_ddladmin, changing the masking function, or enabling Transparent Data Encryption do not override masking. TDE encrypts data at rest and is unrelated to dynamic masking.
