Coming soon to public preview and general availability, we’re updating the options for custom permissions, also referred to as user-defined permissions, to support domain name restrictions.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 98131.
When you choose a sensitivity label configured for user-defined permissions, they can now use domain names to restrict file access to specific individuals, or to all individuals from that domain. For example, you can specify “[email protected]” or “@example.com” and permissions will be restricted based on those parameters.
When this will happen
Rollout to public preview will begin in early December (previously mid-November) and is expected to be complete by late December (previously late November).
Rollout to general availability will begin in early February (previously early December) and is expected to be complete by late February (previously late December).
How this will affect your organization
Within Microsoft Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), when you choose a sensitivity label configured for user-defined permissions, you can now use domain names to restrict file access to specific individuals, or to all individuals from that domain. For example, you can specify “[email protected]” or “@example.com” and permissions will be restricted based on those parameters.
What you need to do to prepare
If you have previously configured user-defined permissions for your organization, no further action is needed to enable this feature.
Configure and manage sensitivity labels in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
