We are moving the admin configuration of the Azure Information Protection (AIP) Scanner from the Azure portal to the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, and with the migration will be deprecating the Azure Information Protection (AIP) portal on 1/15/2023.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 100505.
The AIP Scanner admin configuration is currently managed through the Azure portal. The admin configuration will be moved to the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. Existing users of the Scanner will see their configurations in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal with no additional steps.
When this will happen
The migration of the AIP Scanner admin configuration is currently rolling out to public preview (as of 10/15/2022) and will be available within your environment shortly. The new admin experience will be generally available by mid-November.
On 1/15/2023, the AIP portal will be deprecated, and all subsequent admin actions will need to be completed through the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
How this will affect your organization
Within the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, the admin configuration will be available under Settings as “Information protection scanner”. The pages that will be moved are clusters, nodes, and content scan jobs. As previously communicated, the network scan jobs functionality has been removed. The AIP PowerShell cmdlets used to configure the AIP Scanner on-premises will remain unchanged. AIP Scanner configurations on existing content scan jobs will remain unchanged, and this portal change will not affect any scanners already deployed.
Please ensure that your organization transitions to using the functionality within the Microsoft Purview compliance portal before 1/15/2023 to not be impacted by the AIP portal deprecation.
What you need to do to prepare
We encourage you to begin using the admin experiences for the Information Protection scanner within the Microsoft Purview compliance portal as soon as the public preview begins in mid-October. Until the end of the year, you can use either admin portal for your scanner configuration and relevant changes will appear in both portals. Starting 1/15/2023, the admin configuration will only be available from the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. The AIP portal will be deprecated on that date as all functionality will have either been deprecated or moved to the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
Configure the Information Protection scanner in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal:
