SharePoint Online with Azure RMS
OK, so I've figured this out. IRM doesn't explicit work with Azure RMS templates. It basically keeps the SharePoint Online permissions to the file. This means that if the file was downloaded and tried to open on another computer (as another user) you would still need to be a member of a group that has access to the file.
...users could edit the files before as the default permission was 'Contributor'
Also I wanted to ask if this be a good instance to store highly confidential files or would you suggest storing the files locally and setup on a 2012R2 server, with the AzRMS connector and FCI? I am looking at sharing the files with some external users also, which is why i opted for AzRMS rather than AD RMS.
To add to the excellent description provided by Rajesh Khanikar, MS has stated that they are working on improving the integration story but I don't think they have provided a public timeframe for when we can expect that.
Here is a great summary of the numerous names used by this technology, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/understand-explore/aka.
