For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Set-ComplianceSecurityFilter
   -FilterName <String>
   [-Action <ComplianceSecurityFilterActionType>]
   [-Confirm]
   [-Description <String>]
   [-Filters <MultiValuedProperty>]
   [-Region <String>]

Description

To use this cmdlet in Security & Compliance PowerShell, you need to be assigned permissions. For more information, see Permissions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

Examples

Example 1

$filterusers = Get-ComplianceSecurityFilter -FilterName "Ottawa Users Filter"

$filterusers.users.add("pilarp@contoso.com")

Set-ComplianceSecurityFilter -FilterName "Ottawa Users Filter" -Users $filterusers.users

This example adds user pilarp@contoso.com to the compliance security filter named Ottawa Users Filter without affecting other users assigned to the filter.

Example 2

$filterusers = Get-ComplianceSecurityFilter -FilterName "Ottawa Users Filter"

$filterusers.users.remove("annb@contoso.com")

Set-ComplianceSecurityFilter -FilterName "Ottawa Users Filter" -Users $filterusers.users

This example removes user annb@contoso.com to the compliance security filter named Ottawa Users Filter without affecting other users assigned to the filter.

Parameters

-Action

The Action parameter specifies that type of search action that the filter is applied to. A valid value for this parameter is All, which means the filter is applied to all search actions.

  • Export: The filter is applied when exporting search results, or preparing them for analysis in eDiscovery Premium.
  • Preview: The filter is applied when previewing search results.
  • Purge: The filter is applied when purging search results. How the items are deleted is controlled by the PurgeType parameter value on the New-ComplianceSearchAction cmdlet. The default value is SoftDelete, which means the purged items are recoverable by users until the deleted items retention period expires.
  • Search: The filter is applied when running a search.
  • All: The filter is applied to all search actions.
Type:ComplianceSecurityFilterActionType
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
Applies to:Exchange Server 2016, Exchange Server 2019, Security & Compliance

-Confirm

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

-Filters

The Filters parameter specifies the search criteria for the compliance security filter. You can create three different types of filters:

  • Mailbox filter: Specifies the mailboxes that can be searched by the assigned users. Valid syntax is Mailbox_<MailboxPropertyName>, where <MailboxPropertyName> is a mailbox property value. For example,"Mailbox_CustomAttribute10 -eq 'OttawaUsers'" allows users to only search mailboxes that have the value OttawaUsers in the CustomAttribute10 property. For a list of supported mailbox properties, see Filterable properties for the RecipientFilter parameter.
  • Mailbox content filter: Specifies the mailbox content the assigned users can search for. Valid syntax is MailboxContent_<SearchablePropertyName>, where <SearchablePropertyName> specifies a Keyword Query Language (KQL) property that can be specified in a compliance search. For example, "MailboxContent_Recipients -like 'contoso.com'" allows users to only search for messages sent to recipients in the contoso.com domain. For a list of searchable email properties, see Keyword queries for eDiscovery.
  • Site and site content filter: There are two SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business site-related filters that you can create: Site_<SearchableSiteProperty> (specifies site-related properties. For example,"Site_Path -eq 'https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/doctors'" allows users to only search for content in the https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/doctors site collection) and SiteContent_<SearchableSiteProperty> (specifies content-related properties. For example, "SiteContent_FileExtension -eq 'docx'" allows users to only search for Word documents). For a list of searchable site properties, see Overview of crawled and managed properties in SharePoint Server. Properties marked with a Yes in the Queryable column can be used to create a site or site content filter.

You can specify multiple filters of the same type. For example, "Mailbox_CustomAttribute10 -eq 'FTE' -and Mailbox_MemberOfGroup -eq '$($DG.DistinguishedName)'".

  • One or more role groups: Identify the role group by its name. You can specify multiple values separated by commas.
