Recent / Chat list - Looking for Information
I have been searching for specific information about how this list is populated. When you click on Chat in Teams, a 'Chat List' or 'Recent' view of chats is displayed. We have several questions about this list that I can't find answers for and am hoping someone can help. 1. Is there a timeframe or period for which chats will be displayed? 2. Is there a maximum number of chats that will be displayed? 3. If I hide a chat, will another chat (that might have not been displayed if outside the timeframe or max number of chats) become available? If anyone has any information to share,
Azure Information Protection labels being overrided
I recently implemented the Azure Information Protection P1 in my tennant. When I label a document as "Confidential - All Employees" it becomes available to all employees. If I share the document by rightclicking the document and using the "Azure information Protection" Client - and then I classify the Document as "Confidential - All Employees" - and check the "Protect with custom permissions" and choose an email from outside my organisation, it will then override that label and not allow Employees to open the document. Is this intended? Does the "Custom Permissions" override these labels on purpose, or is this a mistake on my part? Thanks in advanced.
