[Introduction]
We’re adding support for assigning Microsoft SharePoint Online sites to existing administrative units in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP). When you assign a DLP policy for SharePoint to an administrative unit, the policy will apply only to sites within that unit. This enhancement helps organizations manage policies more granularly and align with administrative boundaries.
