Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Computes the rights and inheritance for sensitivity labels based on the input content and labels.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	❌	❌	❌

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	SensitivityLabel.Evaluate.All	SensitivityLabel.Evaluate
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	SensitivityLabel.Evaluate.All	SensitivityLabel.Evaluate

HTTP request

POST /security/dataSecurityAndGovernance/sensitivityLabels/computeRightsAndInheritance

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the parameters.

The following table lists the parameters that are required when you call this action.

Parameter	Type	Description
delegatedUserEmail	String	The upn of the user for whom the rights and inheritance are being computed.
locale	String	The localization code (for example, 'en-US') to use for the inherited label content.
