    API Data Protection for Salesforce
    Create an API Data Protection Policy
    Action

    Action

    This section of the API Data Protection policy page specifies the action to be taken when a policy violation occurs. The actions vary depending on the app chosen. For some apps, the only action is alert. Similarly, restrict access options vary depending on the app chosen.

    1. Select the action you want to take from the drop-down list, like Alert, Block, Change Ownership, Restrict Access, Encrypt, Delete, Quarantine, Legal Hold, Restrict Sharing to View, Apply Azure RMS Template, Data Classification, Disable Print and Download, or IRM Protect.

      Note

      • For a list of supported actions per cloud app, refer to API Data Protection Policy Actions per Cloud App. 

      Note

      For folders with 1000+ collaborators, Box does not send the list of collaborators to Netskope. Due to this, Netskope’s API Data Protection rounds off the number of collaborators to zero. API Data Protection policy such as Restrict Access will not work for such folders. This is a limitation in the Box app.

    2. Select the available action and click Next.
    3. For Legal Hold, choose an existing profile from the drop-down list or click Create New. The CREATE LEGAL HOLD PROFILE wizard opens. For more information, refer to the Legal Hold section of Profiles. When files are placed in legal hold, emails are sent to the custodian and the users who created the files. When finished, click Next.
