Domain-level default sensitivity labels in Microsoft Fabric

This article describes the domain-level default sensitivity label feature in Microsoft Fabric and how to enable it. Its target audience is Fabric administrators, security and compliance officers, Fabric domain administrators, Fabric domain contributors.

Domain admins can set a default sensitivity label for their domains. This label will be applied by default to items in workspaces that belong to the domain in the following instances:

  • When a new item is created and saved in the workspace.
  • Whan an unlabeled item that already exists in the workspace is updated and saved.

When an existing labeled item in the workspace is updated and saved, the existing label is either retained or overwritten according to the following logic:

Existing label Override with domain-level default label
Manually applied, any priority No
Automatically applied, lower priority Yes
Automatically applied, higher priority No
Default label from policy, lower priority Yes
Default label from policy, higher priority No
