You can configure monitoring consumption and data privacy settings for Session Replay. The following sections describe all possible configuration options:

Cost and traffic control to reduce the number of recorded user sessions.
Opt-in mode to decide which parts of a user session should be recorded and allow your application's users to approve recording of their sessions.
URL exclusion to exclude pages and views from recording.
Masking to prevent the recording and display of private user information.
Resource capture to capture and store stylesheets during user session recording.
User permissions and management zones to control who has access to session recordings.

Dynatrace has introduced several Session Replay configuration settings that you should use to protect your customers' personal information. Before activating Session Replay and proceeding with the privacy configuration settings explained on this page, ensure that your organization has taken all other necessary steps to protect your customers' data.

The ability to replay recorded user sessions, with or without playback masking settings, is permission controlled. The Replay sessions with masking and Replay sessions without masking permissions are available at the environment and management-zone level.
