      Data Classification Sensitivity Label Modification Procedure

      This admin procedure will provide background information on how to modify an existing sensitivity label that is being applied to items.

      This article is intended for employees of organizations that use Sittadel's security. Additionally, there are some actions that can only be accomplished by those with administrative privileges.

      Sensitivity labels can be extended to other Microsoft products like SharePoint, Teams, Power BI, and SQL but this requires E3 licensure which is outside the scope of a Security Essentials Deployment.

      Sensitivity Labels

      Microsoft Purview uses sensitivity labels to classify and protect data, and the labels have a global scope that travels with the data.
