Note This content relates to the Data Mask managed package. Read about Accelerate and Anonymize in [Own from Salesforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.own_from_salesforce.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

Ensure that your organization has the Data Mask User permission set licenses. To purchase more licenses, contact your Salesforce account executive.

1. Enable MyDomain and Lightning Experience features in your production org.
2. Follow the standard process for installing a managed package by using the [Data Mask package link](https://sfdc.co/datamask-install).
3. Assign these permissions and profiles to your users in your production org.
    
    - Modify All Data user permission. If your user doesn’t have this permission or write access for the objects being masked, the masking process still runs, but those objects aren’t masked.
    - API Enabled user permission
    - System Administrator user profile
    
    If you manually add a user to your sandbox org who runs a data mask, assign the same permissions and profiles for that user.
4. Assign the Data Mask User permission set license to your user.
5. Assign the Data Mask permission set included in the installed package to your user.

- **[Install in Existing Sandboxes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.install_in_existing_sandboxes.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    To use Data Mask in sandboxes created before you installed the managed package in your production org, additional steps are required.
- **[Add Configuration Security by Using Named Credentials](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.data_mask_using_named_credentials.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    If your organization requires heightened security when making configuration changes, enhance your Data Mask configuration security. Use a named credential with an Auth provider and a connected app to provide a secure connection to the Salesforce Metadata API. This feature is available in Data Mask version 4.2 and later.
