During the anonymizing process, some items can be found regarding Xporter.

Xporter will anonymize, delete, and transfer the user's data regarding Xporter configuration and data usage.

> ℹ️ **Compatibility**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ The anonymizing process is available on [Xporter](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/891368/xporter-export-issues-from-jira?tab=installation&hosting=datacenter) 6.3.2+ versions.

See below the items that can be found and their meaning.

# Items

| **Name** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Xporter User Data | Data related to Xporter configuration and usage such as Audit log, created and last updated data regarding the following configuration:<br>- [Templates](https://docs.getxporter.app/space/XPORTER/1409467).
- Template sharing (user profile level).
- [Scheduled Reports](https://docs.getxporter.app/space/XPORTER/1409498).
- [Permission Schemes](https://docs.getxporter.app/space/XPORTER/1409475).
- [File Servers](https://docs.getxporter.app/space/XPORTER/1409479). |
| Xporter Profile Templates | Profile Templates created by the user are anonymized |
| Xporter Processes | Data related to Xporter export processes created by the user are anonymized |
| Xporter Documents | Data regarding documents generated by the user |
| Xporter Scheduled Reports | Runs as of Xporter Scheduled Reports |

# Transferring Ownership

## Transferred Items (Figure 1)

Two configurations require ownership transfer:

- **User profile templates: **the ownership will be replaced with the user selected to transfer.
- **Scheduled reports: **the ownership will be replaced with the user selected to transfer for all the Scheduled Reports, where the user anonymized is defined as the run-as user. Xporter has two levels of Scheduled reports (on Jira Administration and at the Project level). If the new user is not a Jira Administrator or even Project Administrator (depending on the level of configuration), the run as user will be defined as empty. In this case, the Scheduled Report won't run and it will require an action from the Project or Jira administrator to fix this.

## Anonymized Items (Figure 2)

Xporter will replace the current user key with the new user key anonymized in all the Xporter database tables.
