Sensitivity Label Edit permission behavior in Teams vs Desktop app
The difference in behavior between the desktop Excel app and Teams is likely due to the implementation of the sensitivity labels in each application.
- In the desktop Excel app, when you have only "View" rights, you should not be able to make any changes to the file. Adding "Edit content" rights would allow you to make changes, but since you don't have "Save" rights, those changes would not be saved.
- In Teams, however, the implementation of sensitivity labels may differ, and changes made in the file may be saved to a temporary location before being discarded when the file is closed. This is likely the cause of the changes being saved in Teams, even though the user doesn't have "Save" rights.
The behavior of sensitivity labels can vary depending on the application and platform in which they are being used. It's important to test the behavior of sensitivity labels in each environment to ensure that the desired level of access and protection is being achieved.
