setting a variable as Sensitive in SSIS

  • Ive read online how you can set a variable as "sensitive" in SSIS so that, depending on the protection level, its data will not be stored.

    I cannot figure out how to make a variable ( or any package component) sensitive.

    can anyone advise how i make a variable or component sensitive?

    There is no property to set a variable to "sensitive"...I think you may be misinterpreting the use of a package's protection level.

    You can set the protection level of a package to "DontSaveSensitive" (package-level property). That means that any sensitive information (which is typically passwords in connection managers) will not be saved. This property has no effect on user-defined variables though.
