Remove IRM on protected files in Document Library while IRM already has been disabled
Does anybody have any idea if its possible to recover the access to restricted documents in a Document Library which was protected with Information Rights Management? Back in 2018 IRM was disable...
I suppose you're talking about the legacy SharePoint IRM feature here. I haven't used that but as IRM uses Azure Rights Management I'm thinking you might be able to use any of these permissions.
Export or Full control, rights management issuer/owner or for sure the super user feature.
You could try this cmdlet too as SharePoint or Global admin
