Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Custom permissions UI enhancements in Microsoft Purview Information Protection File Labeler

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Purview Information Protection File Labeler now uses an enhanced custom permissions UI, allowing simultaneous assignment of viewer, restricted editor, editor, and owner permissions to multiple groups. This streamlines rights management for sensitive files.

The Impact

Security teams and data owners are affected, with a reduced risk of misconfigured access controls due to simplified UI.

• Security Teams: Reduced risk of misconfiguration for sensitive data access.
• Data Owners: Easier management of who can view or edit their protected files.
• Compliance Officers: Improved ability to demonstrate granular access control.
• End Users: Consistent experience when interacting with protected files.

The Action

1. Review existing Purview Information Protection policies for custom permissions.
2. Familiarize security and data governance teams with the new UI.
3. Update internal documentation for applying custom permissions in Purview.
4. Consider refining existing sensitivity labels to leverage the new multi-group assignment capability.
