Apply sensitivity labels using PowerShell
Is it possible to apply sensitivity labels to documents in SharePoint (not sites or groups) using PowerShell?
- There is no cmdlet to apply labels to individual files, afaik. Set-AIPFileLabel only works on local files. Using the MIP SDK is probably the way to go, at least until Microsoft introduces a cmdlet/Graph API endpoints.
Funnily enough we do have a cmdlet to remove labels: https://office365itpros.com/2021/03/25/decrypt-sharepoint-online-documents-graph/
this is just for operations in the admin center, I need to be able to add the labels to the documents programmatically
You can now use Security & Compliance Center PowerShell to create and configure all the settings you see in your labeling admin center. This means that in addition to using PowerShell for settings that aren't available in the labeling admin centers, you can now fully script the creation and maintenance of sensitivity labels and sensitivity label policies.
