We are excited to introduce a new capability for SharePoint and OneDrive Information Barriers.
With this feature, SharePoint administrators can opt-in to allow applications running in app-only mode (without user context) to access Information Barriers (IB) protected sites. You can try this feature by enabling the control using SharePoint Online PowerShell module.
Note: This feature is only applicable for organizations that have enabled SharePoint and OneDrive information barriers in their tenant.
[When this will happen:]
Preview: We will begin rolling out in early October 2023 and expect to complete rollout by mid-October 2023.
[How this will affect your organization:]
SharePoint administrators can leverage this opt-in capability to allow applications running in app-only mode to access IB protected sites using SharePoint Online PowerShell module.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
- Download the latest module of SharePoint Online Management Shell.
- Connect to SharePoint Online as a Global Administrator or SharePoint Administrator in Microsoft 365.
- To enable information barriers in SharePoint and OneDrive, run the following command:
Set-SPOTenant -InformationBarriersSuspension $false - After you’ve enabled information barriers for SharePoint and OneDrive in your organization, wait for approximately 1 hour for the changes to take effect.
