Sensitivity Labels & Endorsement
Classify data with Purview sensitivity labels and signal trust with endorsement badges. The governance layer on Fabric items.
Classification and trust
Sensitivity labels are like food allergen stickers β βContains confidential data, handle with care.β They come from Microsoft Purview and travel with the data when exported.
Endorsement is like a restaurant rating: Promoted (recommended by owner) or Certified (verified by inspector).
Sensitivity labels
| Label | Meaning | Restrictions |
|---|---|---|
| Public | Safe for external sharing | None |
| General | Internal use | None |
| Confidential | Sensitive, internal only | Encryption, no external sharing |
| Highly Confidential | Regulated data | Encryption, watermarks, restricted access |
Labels inherit downstream β a labelled semantic model passes its label to reports built on it. Labels persist in exports (PDF, Excel).
Endorsement
| Feature | Promoted | Certified |
|---|---|---|
| Who can apply | Workspace Members, Admins | Only designated certifiers (configured by Fabric admin) |
| Trust level | Team recommendation | Organisational verification |
