# Managing Data Masking Templates

Veeam Backup for Salesforce allows you to mask sensitive information (such as user names, passwords, credit card numbers and so on) when restoring data to a sandbox. To do that, the product provides a default data masking template that you can use as is or customize for your specific needs.

When you instruct Veeam Backup for Salesforce to apply a template while performing a restore operation, the restored data is replaced with randomly generated values so that this information can be shared without compromising confidentiality.

::: note

Only users assigned the *Administrator* role can manage data masking templates in Veeam Backup for Salesforce, while users assigned the *Backup Operator* and *Restore Operator* roles can use these templates [when restoring records and field values](creating_restore_jobs.md).
