Manage File Access in Microsoft Search in Bing, Office.com, SharePoint, and Feed

Our new “Who can see this?” option in the file action menu will allow users to view and/or manage who has access to a file result. Users can only manage file permissions if they are the owner of the file or have permissions to update the file and its permissions. The aim of this feature is to help users understand why they are seeing a file in their search results and adjust its permissions as needed more easily on the search page. This will appear on file results in Microsoft Search in Bing, Office.com, SharePoint, and Feed.

Note: This will not appear on Microsoft Search in Bing for DoD or Gallatin tenants as Microsoft Search in Bing is not fully supported there yet.

Microsoft Purview | Detect AIP labelled files (pfile) using the DLP condition “content contains sensitivity label”

Currently Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention policies support detecting email attachments with sensitivity label using the condition called “content contains sensitivity label” (https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/compliance/dlp-sensitivity-label-as-condition?view=o365-worldwide). Currently, this condition supports detecting labels in Microsoft Office and PDF file types. However, Microsoft Purview Information Protection sensitivity label can be applied to other file types as well using AIP client or other clients using Information Protection SDK like Secude which uses this SDK to convert the labelled file to .pfile (https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/information-protection/how-does-it-work#variations).

We are now extending the support of the DLP condition “content contains sensitivity label” to pfile as well ensuring all possible labelled files will be detected and protected by DLP policies.
