In this blog, we shall explore these new features. With this refresh,
you can find the two new templates in the Azure IP portal.
New label action: “Do not forward”
This new label action helps to protect the emails with confidential
information leakage through the recipients. The recipients can’t
forward, copy, or print the email. This action applies for emails only.
Below is the screen-shot of the email with “Do not forward” label action
applied.
The forward action disabled for the email recipient in Outlook client.
Forward action disabled in the OWA for the email recipient.
New label action – “Remove protection”
The main business scenario for this action is that the secret documents
to be labeled without encryption, so that the collaboration can be done
over the SharePoint Online or share to the users who can’t use RMS, but
at the same time the right level of label is applied. This action is
useful in scenarios where just the labeling alone is required without
encryption.
When this label is applied any previously applied protection will be
removed by Azure IP and if justification is enabled, then the user is
prompted to enter the reason.
Below is the screen-shot of the document with “Remove protection” label
action applied which is opened in Office Online, whereas the encrypted
document can’t be opened in Office Online.
