Microsoft Purview Sensitivity Labels: Sensitivity label grouping modernization coming this fall (?)

on
There is a change coming to Microsoft Purview Information Protection that simplifies sensitivity label architecture. The goal is to make label management easier, more scalable, and less rigid for organizations. The new model will only include standalone labels and sublabels. Parent labels will be replaced by label groups, which act as organizational containers. These groups cannot be applied to content and have no actions or scope, but they retain color and priority for visual organization.

Get-userandpolicy V_1 released

on
I have been working on a deployment lately, where I was tasked with identifying policies and if any of these could be removed after a huge migration.

This could all be done through CSCP, but the task was slow and "painful". I decided to find a quicker way to complete the job. And sure enough. A couple of hours creating some code, made the task so much easier.

This was not the first deployment I had to do policy management and cleanup, and I do not think it's going to be the last. So I decided to make a script of the code and publish it. Get-userandpolicy is the end result of my work.

I have made it available on the Technet Gallery, so if you need a quick way to get an overview over your policies and users assigned to them you are welcome to download and try it: Get-userandpolicy

As always, feedback and suggestions appreciated ;)
