## Response `200`

OK

- SensitiveDataScannerGetConfigResponse: Get all groups response.
  - `data` SensitiveDataScannerGetConfigResponseData: Response data related to the scanning groups.
    - `attributes` object: Attributes of the Sensitive Data configuration.
    - `id` string: ID of the configuration.
    - `relationships` SensitiveDataScannerConfigurationRelationships: Relationships of the configuration.
      - `groups` SensitiveDataScannerGroupList: List of groups, ordered.
        - `data` SensitiveDataScannerGroupItem[]: List of groups. The order is important.
          - `id` string: ID of the group.
          - `type` 'sensitive_data_scanner_group': Sensitive Data Scanner group type.
    - `type` 'sensitive_data_scanner_configuration': Sensitive Data Scanner configuration type.
  - `included` SensitiveDataScannerGetConfigIncludedItem[]: Included objects from relationships.
    - union: An object related to the configuration.
      - SensitiveDataScannerRuleIncludedItem: A Scanning Rule included item.
        - `attributes` SensitiveDataScannerRuleAttributes: Attributes of the Sensitive Data Scanner rule.
          - `description` string: Description of the rule.
          - `excluded_namespaces` string[]: Attributes excluded from the scan. If namespaces is provided, it has to be a sub-path of the namespaces array.
          - `included_keyword_configuration` SensitiveDataScannerIncludedKeywordConfiguration: Object defining a set of keywords and a number of characters that help reduce noise. You can provide a list of keywords you would like to check within a defined proximity of the matching pattern. If any of the keywords are found within the proximity check, the match is kept. If none are found, the match is discarded.
            - `character_count` integer, required: The number of characters behind a match detected by Sensitive Data Scanner to look for the keywords defined. `character_count` should be greater than the maximum length of a keyword defined for a rule.
            - `keywords` string[], required: Keyword list that will be checked during scanning in order to validate a match. The number of keywords in the list must be less than or equal to 30.
            - `use_recommended_keywords` boolean: Should the rule use the underlying standard pattern keyword configuration. If set to `true`, the rule must be tied to a standard pattern. If set to `false`, the specified keywords and `character_count` are applied.
          - `is_enabled` boolean: Whether or not the rule is enabled.
          - `name` string: Name of the rule.
          - `namespaces` string[]: Attributes included in the scan. If namespaces is empty or missing, all attributes except excluded_namespaces are scanned. If both are missing the whole event is scanned.
          - `pattern` string: Not included if there is a relationship to a standard pattern.
          - `priority` integer: Integer from 1 (high) to 5 (low) indicating rule issue severity.
          - `suppressions` SensitiveDataScannerSuppressions: Object describing the suppressions for a rule. There are three types of suppressions, `starts_with`, `ends_with`, and `exact_match`. Suppressed matches are not obfuscated, counted in metrics, or displayed in the Findings page.
            - `ends_with` string[]: List of strings to use for suppression of matches ending with these strings.
            - `exact_match` string[]: List of strings to use for suppression of matches exactly matching these strings.
            - `starts_with` string[]: List of strings to use for suppression of matches starting with these strings.
          - `tags` string[]: List of tags.
          - `text_replacement` SensitiveDataScannerTextReplacement: Object describing how the scanned event will be replaced.
            - `number_of_chars` integer: Required if type == 'partial_replacement_from_beginning' or 'partial_replacement_from_end'. It must be > 0.
            - `replacement_string` string: Required if type == 'replacement_string'.
            - `should_save_match` boolean: Only valid when type == `replacement_string`. When enabled, matches can be unmasked in logs by users with ‘Data Scanner Unmask’ permission. As a security best practice, avoid masking for highly-sensitive, long-lived data.
            - `type` 'none' | 'hash' | 'replacement_string' | 'partial_replacement_from_beginning' | 'partial_replacement_from_end': Type of the replacement text. None means no replacement. hash means the data will be stubbed. replacement_string means that one can chose a text to replace the data. partial_replacement_from_beginning allows a user to partially replace the data from the beginning, and partial_replacement_from_end on the other hand, allows to replace data from the end.
        - `id` string: ID of the rule.
        - `relationships` SensitiveDataScannerRuleRelationships: Relationships of a scanning rule.
          - `group` SensitiveDataScannerGroupData: A scanning group data.
            - `data` SensitiveDataScannerGroup: A scanning group.
