Auto Labeling Policy Delay for Old Files (Exsisting Files)
Hi Everyone, We are observing a difference in auto labelling policy behaviour in Purview for Sharepoint. An auto labelling policy has been enabled and scoped to sharepoint with metadata based rule(document creation date or document modification date). The scoped sharepoint only contain 7 unlabeled files that were uploaded before the policy turned on. The policy is working because if i placed any new file after enabling the policy got labelled within about 5 minutes, but the exsisting files are not labeled and remains unlabelled. It seems the new files are evalauated via the near time while exsisting file rely on asychronous mode. Can anyone help explain why exsisting files take longer to be proceesed even when there there are only a few files or share if you faced similar behaviour. This is the test scenario, as we plan to enable the same policy across more than 50 plus sites containing millions of unlabeled files and we want to understand and predict that even though its takes time all exsisting unlabeled files will eventually will be labelled. This is very crucial, so please helo us understand this behaviour. Regards, BanuMuraliSolved116Views0likes3CommentsHow to identify users handling SITs before purchasing Microsoft Purview licenses?
Posting this on behalf of a customer we are currently advising as a Microsoft Partner. The customer is in the evaluation stage of Microsoft Purview and has raised a licensing concern that we would like the community's guidance on. CUSTOMER'S CONCERN Purview licenses are user-based, meaning every user who directly or indirectly benefits from the service needs to be licensed. However, to determine which users actually handle sensitive data (and therefore require a license), tools like Content Explorer and Activity Explorer are needed — both of which require an E5 or equivalent license to access in the first place. This creates a chicken-and-egg problem for the customer: They need Purview to identify who handles sensitive data, but they need to know who handles sensitive data to decide how many Purview licenses to buy. QUESTIONS ON BEHALF OF THE CUSTOMER 1. Is there an official Microsoft-supported mechanism or tool that allows customers to assess their SIT exposure and identify affected users before committing to a full Purview license purchase? 2. Is it viable for the customer to purchase a single license (1 qty) assigned to an admin account to perform a tenant-wide scoping and discovery exercise — and would that single license provide sufficient access to identify all users handling SITs across the tenant? 3. If the 90-day Purview E5 trial is the recommended path, does Content Explorer automatically scan and surface SIT matches across all users in the tenant without requiring any pre-configured DLP policies or sensitivity labels to be set up first? As a partner, we want to ensure we are guiding our customer toward the correct pre-purchase assessment approach before recommending a licensing SKU and quantity. Any guidance from the community or Microsoft would be greatly appreciated.SolvedelangambanApr 19, 2026Copper Contributor68Views0likes2CommentsPurview Graph API
Hello. I'm trying to find information on the Purview Graph API and it's endpoints. It looks like the endpoints aren't posted publicly and are listed within an admin console. Can someone help me with how to view the endpoints? Also, are the graph API endpoints capable of reading and creating assets into Purview?SolvedsouthpawmurphApr 08, 2026Copper Contributor75Views0likes1CommentUnable to use MS Graph DLP Api's to use with my Entra Registered App
In purview, I have set of policies in DLP, where I have registered to block the US SSN in the text contents and I have created different policies in all of them I have selected the available locations: Exchange email - All accounts SharePoint sites OneDrive accounts - All accounts Teams chat and channel messages - All accounts Devices - All accounts Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps On-premises repositories And selected action as block all, in all of them for the rule and enabled the rule (not in simulation mode) Now, I have the app registered in Entra and I try to use the following API's https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/userprotectionscopecontainer-compute?view=graph-rest-1.0 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/userdatasecurityandgovernance-processcontent?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http But whenever I use the compute api I can see i'm only getting curl -X POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/5fd51e08-c5f1-4298-b79b-a357eaa414ff/dataSecurityAndGovernance/protectionScopes/compute\ -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>'\ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "activities": "uploadText,downloadText" }' { "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#Collection(microsoft.graph.policyUserScope)", "value": [ { "activities": "uploadText,downloadText", "executionMode": "evaluateOffline", "locations": [ { "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.policyLocationApplication", "value": "b48106d9-1cdb-4d90-9485-fe2b6ee78acf" } ], "policyActions": [] } ] } My sample App's Id is showing up but always with `evaluateOffline` I don't know why it always gives 'evaluteOffline' and policyActions is always empty array Also, I can see my Entra registered app is showing up here in the value of the locations And when I use the processContent api , I always get modified in the response and nothing else like below: curl -XPOST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/5fd51e08-c5f1-4298-b79b-a357eaa414ff/dataSecurityAndGovernance/processContent \ -H 'Authorization: <ACCESS TOKEN>'\ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "contentToProcess": { "contentEntries": [ { "@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.processConversationMetadata", "identifier": "07785517-9081-4fe7-a9dc-85bcdf5e9075", "content": { "@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.textContent", "data": "Please process this application for John VSmith, his SSN is 121-98-1437 and credit card number is 4532667785213500" }, "name": "Postman message", "correlationId": "d63eafd2-e3a9-4c1a-b726-a2e9b9d9580d", "sequenceNumber": 0, "isTruncated": false, "createdDateTime": "2026-04-06T00:23:20", "modifiedDateTime": "2026-04-06T00:23:20" } ], "activityMetadata": { "activity": "uploadText" }, "deviceMetadata": { "operatingSystemSpecifications": { "operatingSystemPlatform": "Windows 11", "operatingSystemVersion": "10.0.26100.0" }, "ipAddress": "127.0.0.1" }, "protectedAppMetadata": { "name": "Postman", "version": "1.0", "applicationLocation": { "@odata.type": "microsoft.graph.policyLocationApplication", "value": "b48106d9-1cdb-4d90-9485-fe2b6ee78acf" } }, "integratedAppMetadata": { "name": "Postman", "version": "1.0" } } }' In the above request I have mentioned some sample US Security SSN, but the response I get is { "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#microsoft.graph.processContentResponse", "protectionScopeState": "notModified", "policyActions": [], "processingErrors": [] } But Ideally I want to see whether I can get the content is valid or not, for example in the above request, it has SSN, so ideally I should get restrictAction or something right? Or is that evaluateInline is not available or something? Note that I have purchased E5 and assigned to the user who is trying this Also, whenever I choose to create a Policy in DLP , I got two options And Lets say I choose "Enterprise applications & devices", what happens is in the Locations, I'm seeing only these as the options: And If I choose the "Inline Traffic", i'm seeing only these options In Unmanaged, I'm seeing the following And in the Enforcement Options, I have the following : And in the "Advanced DLP rules" I'm seeing only these So, can you tell me the exact steps in the Purview suite, I couldn't where to mention the Entra registered App, I searched and I couldn't find one But in the compute endpoint, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/userprotectionscopecontainer-compute?view=graph-rest-1.0 I'm getting my app but only with "evaluateOffline" and with that ETag, If I use the processContent Api, its not giving anything except as I mentioned above in the postSolvedprasath5sApr 07, 2026Copper Contributor97Views0likes1CommentIntegrate MS Purview with ServiceNow for Data Governance
Hi team, We are planning to leverage Microsoft Purview for core Data Governance (DG) capabilities and build the remaining DG functions on ServiceNow. We have two key questions as we design the target‑state architecture: 1. What is the recommended split of DG capabilities between Microsoft Purview and ServiceNow? 2. How should data be shared and synchronized between Purview and ServiceNow to keep governance processes aligned and up to date?

Hello All, We can monitor print activities in Microsoft purview endpoint DLP, If someone print sensitive data based on the conditions defined in DLP it will take action on printing. I want to know how the Purview endpoint DLP intercepts the printing and avoid data exfiltration. Does it stop before it reaches the spooler? Please provide technical insights on this doubt.

We’ve hit a limitation with service-side auto-labeling in Purview: when a sensitivity label is applied by an auto-labeling policy, any configured visual markings (headers, footers, watermarks) are not written into the document. A further complication is that there is a requirement which includes a custom script that applies sensitivity labels at the folder level and relies on the service-side engine to cascade those labels down to the folder's contents. This means automation isn't just a 'nice to have' for scale — it is a core dependency of our labeling architecture. The inability to also apply visual markings through this same automated path creates a direct gap in our compliance posture and the MS solution. For environments where visible classification is mandated by regulation, this effectively means we can’t rely on service-side auto-labeling alone, which is a big constraint. I’d really appreciate: Any confirmed best practices/workarounds others are using, and Input from the product team on whether server-side visual markings tied to auto-labeling are being considered / and what to consider meeting this requirement as an alternativeSolved172Views1like1CommentClassification on DataBricks
Hello everyone, I would like to request an updated confirmation regarding the correct functioning of custom classification for Databricks Unity Catalog data sources. Here is my current setup: The data source is active. Source scanning is working correctly. I created the custom classification in “Annotation management / Classifications”. I created and successfully tested the regular expression under “Annotation management / Classification Rules”. I generated the Custom Scan Rule Set in “Source management / Scan Rule Sets”, associated to Databricks and selecting the custom rule. However, when running the scan on Databricks: I do not find any option to select my Scan Rule Set (for another source like Teradata, this option is visible). No classification findings are generated based on my custom rule. Other tests do produce findings (system-generated). Does anyone have insights on what I should verify? Or is this custom classification functionality not supported for Databricks?Solvedandres_vgFeb 20, 2026Copper Contributor206Views1like2Comments
