Data Controller Module Questions

Question

Description

1. Does a bidAdapter have to adapt the code, in order to support this module?
2. Are both SDA or EID's required for publishers, in order to use this module? Or is it possible to just use one or the other, and still use the Data Controller Module?
3. In your documentation: https://github.com/prebid/prebid.github.io/blob/master/dev-docs/modules/dataControllerModule.md
   you are passing to "filterSDAwhenEID" the domain "test.com".

dataController: {
        filterEIDwhenSDA: ['*'],
        filterSDAwhenEID: ['test.com'] 
     }

But I am wondering, what is "test.com" referring to?
Where do I use "test.com", in order to supress/filter its SDA in the dataController?
Is "test.com" the final buyer/bidder of the ad - for example, "Nike" or "Adidas"?
Or is "test.com" the SSP partner (bidAdapter) you have/partner as a publisher - for example, "AppNexus" or "Rubicon"?

Hi @mikemangas so sorry for the delay getting back to you.

1. No, bid adapters need to change, the data controller module will handle any data restrictions.
2. No, a pub can use both SDAs and EIDs or just EIDs, or just SDAs. The allow lists are independent of one another.
3. The domain 'test.com' in your example represents the EIDs source= value, all sources can be referenced here. If you wanted to filter SDAs out when a sharedid was present you'd do

dataController: {
        filterEIDwhenSDA: ['*'],
        filterSDAwhenEID: ['pubcid.org'] 
     }
