I have created a few compliance labels from the Office 365 Security & Compliance portal. These have been successfully published to one of my SharePoint sites and I can apply it to document from the modern library UI. My understanding from the august 2017 CSOM release notes was that it should be possible to get the available labels in a site using the GetComplianceTag methods. I have not been successful i doing this however. One approach causes a exception saying I need to enable the Site Policy feature, even though it is enabled. The other return a empty result.
Is there a working example for getting available classification tags programatically?
See code example below:
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CompliancePolicy;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Security;
namespace Policies
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var clientContext = CreateClientContext())
{
//Returns empty
var tags = GetAvailableTagsForSite(clientContext);
foreach (var tag in tags)
{
Console.WriteLine(tag);
}
// Throws "Site Policy feature not activated in site collection" even if it is activated
var tags = GetComplianceTags(clientContext);
foreach (var tag in tags)
{
Console.WriteLine(tag);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
private static ClientContext CreateClientContext()
{
var password = new SecureString();
foreach (var c in "foobar") password.AppendChar(c);
var credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("admin@contoso.onmicrosoft.com", password);
return new ClientContext("https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/gdpr")
{
Credentials = credentials
};
}
private static IEnumerable<string> GetComplianceTags(ClientContext clientContext)
{
var web = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(web);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
var policyStore = new SPPolicyStore(clientContext, web);
var tags = policyStore.GetComplianceTags();
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
return tags.Select(t => t.TagName);
}
private static IEnumerable<string> GetAvailableTagsForSite(ClientContext clientContext)
{
var web = clientContext.Web;
clientContext.Load(web);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
var tags = SPPolicyStoreProxy.GetAvailableTagsForSite(clientContext, clientContext.Url);
return tags.Select(t => t.TagName);
}
}
}
