4. Click the Disconnect Tag button. The disconnect tag process can take up to several minutes to complete.

Force Disconnect Tags

Danger

Before force disconnecting a tag, consult ALTR Support. Force disconnecting tags could have a negative impact on your source system if you do not fully understand your data and this feature.

Force disconnect a tag if you are unable to disconnect the tag as expected. This action removes all masking policies and supporting functions, ignores any errors encountered during the disconnect process, and will affect masking policy and integrations. Use great caution with this feature because it cannot be undone.

Reasons to force disconnect tags include:

• Tag no longer exists in your source system
• Service user’s privileges have been decommissioned
• ALTR could not connect to Snowflake

To force disconnect a tag:

1. Select Data Configuration > Data Management in the navigation menu.
2. Click the Tags tab.
3. Select the tag you wish to disconnect.
4. Click the Disconnect Tag button.
5. Click the Trouble Disconnecting? link.
6. Click the Force Disconnect Tag button.
7. Confirm by clicking Force Disconnect Tag again.
8. Review your source system and clean up any objects left behind.
