You can run mass encryption on encryption configurations, as well as a mass
decryption to decrypt previously encrypted values.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: security_admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

You can also create scheduled jobs for mass encryption and decryption. See [Schedule mass encryption, decryption, and rekeying jobs](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/zFqhMZZDbYGjie6eyZ9avA "Schedule encryption, decryption, and rekeying jobs to run at a time that is best for your instance.") for instructions.

Mass encryption and decryption are available only when an encrypted field configuration uses the single cryptographic module. Mass decryption is available for both the single and multiple encryption method.  
Hinweis:  
You should run mass encryption and decryption only during non-peak hours because the operations are resource and time intensive.

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllSystem SecurityField EncryptionEncrypted Field Configurations.
2. Open the encrypted field configuration for the field you would like to mass encrypt or decrypt.
3. Under Related Links, select an available option.

   * Schedule Mass Encryption job
   {#mass-enc-dec__choices_k5q_czz_p1b}
4. Confirm your selection in the dialog.

## Ergebnisse

If running a mass encryption, all values are encrypted with the encryption module
defined in the encrypted field configuration record. If running a mass decryption,
only fields encrypted with an encryption module you have access to are
decrypted.
