Yeah that was the first thing we checked. When I log in with an account from a different tenant it works. So I was thinking it has to be something with this specific tenant. Thanks.

Would you mind adding what you've checked so far? Such as licensing, migrated labels etc. Those reading this have no idea of your environment/s so please be detailed.

So we have Office 365 E3 licensing. We are starting new in the Compliance console and did not migrate any labels. Although AIP was enabled in our tenant, we never used it. Our test tenant is at the same Office365 E3 licensing also we do have some M365 E3 in that tenant but the accounts we are testing with have O365 E3 applied. The test tenant never had AIP activated. So i'm not sure if that could be impacting us or not.

The Office built-in labeling client downloads sensitivity labels and sensitivity label policy settings from the Microsoft 365 compliance center. To use the Office built-in labeling client, you must have one or more label policies published to users from the compliance center (and a supported version of Office).
