Before you turn on Copilot: Clean up permissions

Copilot doesn't create any new permissions. But it makes it much easier to find content that's already shared too broadly.

How Copilot sees data

According to Microsoft, Copilot only surfaces data the user has at least read access to, and it honors sensitivity labels and encryption from Purview. The problem is that many environments contain files shared with the entire organization – often without anyone realizing it. Copilot simply makes those files easy to find.

The tools that help

Every tenant with at least one Microsoft 365 Copilot license gets SharePoint Advanced Management at no additional cost. It provides reports on broadly shared sites and lets you keep sensitive sites out of Copilot. Microsoft Purview can also prevent Copilot from using content labeled as sensitive.

What we recommend

  • Run a report on content shared with everyone in the organization
  • Review sharing links for anonymous users
  • Apply sensitivity labels to sensitive documents
  • Restrict sensitive sites before you roll out Copilot
