AIP classification on SharePoint Online

Hi, 

I have implemented AIP with 3 types of classification labels: public, internal and sensitive info. The problem is when I create a document in SharePoint online I can only see Public and Internal labels on the list of Sensitivity Tab, and not sensitive label at all. any idea?

    Ah OK.  When you make changes to labels and policies, it sometimes takes a little while for the changes to take effect.  Maybe you just needed to wait a while.  ğŸ˜Š

    Hi, I would suggest checking 2 things here;

     

    1). Have all the labels been published to the label policy?

    2). Is the Sensitive Info label visible in Outlook, but not Word/Excel?   If so, then it is setup as a User defined permissions label as shown below, and this would be expected behaviour.

      PeterRising Thanks. you right, the problem was I had selected 'Set user-defined permissions'.

      But what's the recommendation if I want to have only one 'Sensitive' Label for the entire organization and different users get authorize on different documents?

        You can have as many or as little labels as you wish, but who is able to apply the labels will completely depend on the label policies that you set, and who is assigned to those policies. 

         

        If you are unsure of which labels to go for, then the default Microsoft templates are always a good place to start, which are Personal, Public, and Private & Confidential.  The key to a successful deployment of AIP and sensitivity labels is keep it simple.
