Assigning Sensitivity Labels in Teams Manager

Assigning Sensitivity Labels in Teams Manager

Introduction

This article discusses a common query raised by a user regarding the assignment of sensitivity labels during the creation of Teams through the Teams Manager.

Problem Statement

The user queried about the process and user context under which sensitivity labels are set while creating a team. They expressed a desire to restrict normal users from using the labels independently, such as when creating a normal M365 Group. They wanted these labels to be assigned only through Teams Manager.

Step-by-Step Solution

As of the latest version of Teams Manager, sensitivity labels are assigned during the creation of a team under the context of the user who initiates the creation. However, we understand the need for more granular control over label assignments. This feature request has been relayed to our development team. Nevertheless, here are some steps that you can follow to manage sensitivity labels:

  1. Review Label Permissions: Navigate to the Microsoft 365 compliance center. Under 'Classifications' > 'Sensitivity labels', you can review and modify who can use these labels. Here, you can limit the labels to a chosen set of users who can assign them while creating Teams through Teams Manager.

Additional Tips

  1. Regularly update your Teams Manager to stay abreast with any new features or changes in the software.
