Syntax

Default (Default)

Set-DlpKeywordDictionary
    [-Identity] <SensitiveInformationTypeIdParameter>
    [-Confirm]

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

$Keywords = "Aarskog's syndrome, Abandonment, Abasia, Abderhalden-Kaufmann-Lignac, Abdominalgia, Abduction contracture, Abetalipo proteinemia, Abiotrophy, Ablatio, ablation, Ablepharia, Abocclusion, Abolition, Aborter, Abortion, Abortus, Aboulomania, Abrami's disease, Abramo"

$EncodedKeywords = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($keywords)

Set-DlpKeywordDictionary -Identity "Diseases" -FileData $EncodedKeywords

This example replaces the existing terms in the DLP keyword dictionary named Diseases with the specified values.

Example 2

$Dictionary = Get-DlpKeywordDictionary -Name "Diseases"

$Terms = $Dictionary.KeywordDictionary.split(',').trim()

$Terms += "Achylia","Acidemia","Acidocytopenia","Acidocytosis","Acidopenia","Acidosis","Aciduria","Acladiosis","Aclasis"

$Keywords = $Terms -Join ", "

$EncodedKeywords = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($Keywords)

Set-DlpKeywordDictionary -Identity "Diseases" -FileData $EncodedKeywords

This example adds the specified terms to the DLP keyword dictionary named Diseases without affecting other existing terms.

Example 3

$Dictionary = Get-DlpKeywordDictionary -Name "Diseases"

$Terms = $Dictionary.KeywordDictionary.split(',').trim()

$TermsToRemove = @('abandonment', 'ablatio')

$UpdatedTerms = $Terms | Where-Object {$_ -NotIn $TermsToRemove}

$Keywords = $UpdatedTerms -Join ", "

$EncodedKeywords = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($Keywords)

Set-DlpKeywordDictionary -Identity "Diseases" -FileData $EncodedKeywords

This example removes the specified terms from the DLP keyword dictionary named Diseases without affecting other existing terms.

Example 4

$Dictionary = Get-DlpKeywordDictionary -Name "Inappropriate Language"

$Terms = $Dictionary.KeywordDictionary.split(',').trim()

Set-Content $Terms -Path "C:\My Documents\InappropriateTerms.txt"

$UpdatedTerms = Get-Content -Path "C:\My Documents\InappropriateTerms.txt"

$Keywords = $UpdatedTerms -Join ", "

$EncodedKeywords = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($Keywords)

Set-DlpKeywordDictionary -Identity "Inappropriate Language" -FileData $EncodedKeywords

The first three commands export the terms from the existing keyword dictionary named Inappropriate Language to the file C:\My Documents\InappropriateTerms.txt, where each term is on a separate line.

After you use Notepad to modify the terms and save the file, the last four commands use the file to replace the terms in the keyword dictionary.

Parameters

-Confirm

Applicable: Security & Compliance

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.
