properties.maskingFunction	True	DataMaskingFunction	The masking function that is used for the data masking rule.
properties.schemaName	True	string	The schema name on which the data masking rule is applied.
properties.tableName	True	string	The table name on which the data masking rule is applied.
properties.aliasName		string	The alias name. This is a legacy parameter and is no longer used.
