Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Potential high impact user experience enhancements

We will make some minor experience changes for when a user has been detected as a potential high impact user whose activities may lead to potential data security incidents. These changes will include improving accessibility and providing more prominent highlighting of the reasons for being detected as a potential high impact user.

Additionally, we will provide additional descriptors regarding how the risk score booster is applied to the user. Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage, and security violations.
