Tokenization Setup Workflow in CT-VL GUI
Although the CT-VL GUI does not constrain you to one particular implementation path, one logical sequence is:
- Specify the CM Keys for Tokenization (must be symmetric keys). 
- Create Tokenization Groups and associate it with the appropriate key(s). 
- Create custom character sets as needed (optional). 
- Create a data mask for dekotenization. 
- Create tokenization templates and associate the applicable tokenization group and character set. 
- Create users and user groups, assigning a data mask from the drop-down menu. 
- Grant tokenization privileges to users and user groups by going to their permissions page, selecting the symmetric key associated with the appropriate tokenization group, and checking the Tokenize box. 
- Grant detokenization privileges to users and user groups in the same way. 
Note
See Other (non-key dependent) permissions for an explanation of the Tokenize/Detokenize check boxes listed under "Other Permissions" in the Permissions matrix. This feature is included primarily for legacy and upgrade purposes.
