Configuring Microsoft Information Protection

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.6.x

Use the Microsoft Information Protection Properties page to use imported Microsoft Information Protection labels for detection (for more information about creating file labeling classifiers for detection, see File Labeling).

To open the Microsoft Information Protection Properties page, go to Settings > General > Services > File Labeling tab and click on the Microsoft Information Protection link. The Microsoft Information Protection Properties page opens.


	Important Before you import Microsoft Information Protection labels for the first time, you must obtain permission for the Forcepoint application to import the labels. Log in to the Microsoft Office 365 Admin Consent page, authenticate using your Microsoft Office 365 admin credentials, and accept the permissions statement.

To import labels:

Enter your Microsoft Office 365 admin credentials and click Import Labels.

We recommend that you enter credentials for an administrator who has visibility to all Microsoft Information Protection labels used in the organization.

User credentials are not stored on Forcepoint servers. However, you should ensure that your web browser does not store this information.

Click OK to start the import process.

If "admin consent" has not already been established, this step generates an error message and the import does not occur. Complete the Microsoft admin consent process and try again.

After a successful import, the Last Import Details section is updated with the imported labels and a message. The message lists date, time and number of imported labels.
