Sensitivity Lables - Allow a Team (AD-group) to Remove

Hi Alisea_MI 

Firstly, it's important to clarify that sensitivity label management can indeed be person-bound to an extent, but there are administrative capabilities that allow for broader management across the organization. To allow your entire developer team the ability to remove sensitivity labels, you would need to ensure that the members of the team are assigned at least one of the following usage rights to the sensitivity label in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal: OWNER, EXPORT, or EDIT and EDITRIGHTSDATA. These rights will enable authorized users to change or remove sensitivity labels applied.

Here's a concise action plan to achieve this:

1. Identify the Sensitivity Labels: Determine which sensitivity labels are applied that your team needs access to change or remove.
2. Assign Usage Rights: In the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, navigate to Classification > Sensitivity labels. Here, you can manage the sensitivity labels and assign the necessary usage rights (OWNER, EXPORT, EDIT, and EDITRIGHTSDATA) to your developer team. This might require creating or modifying an existing label policy to include your developer team as authorized users.

The key action is to adjust the usage rights for the sensitivity labels as mentioned above. This is something your Microsoft 365/Office security administrator can assist with. This cannot be changed in Power BI Settings. 

Reference: Configure usage rights for Azure Information Protection (AIP)

In addition, as a global Power BI Admin, you can use Power BI admin REST APIs to set and remove sensitivity labels on large numbers of Power BI artifacts programatically. See the following documentations. This also requires that you have sufficient usage rights to delete labels.
