Blocking Downloads in Purview
Hi guys, hoping someone can help out with this : is there a away to block the download of sensitive documents in Purview? ; e:g, you've created a Highly Confidential sensitivity label and as part of ...
Is the label applied on individual items or on the site/library level? For the former, use a DLP policy that checks for the presence of the label and blocks (external) access: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/dlp-sensitivity-label-as-condition
While technically not the same thing as "block download", it is the best you can do for per-item labels.
For the latter, you can configure this restriction on the label itself. See for example: https://office365itpros.com/2024/12/12/block-download-policy-labels/
Thanks Vasil !.the label is being applied at the item level ...however there may be instances where we apply at the site/library level also
