Message Summary

We are excited to introduce a new capability for SharePoint and OneDrive Information Barriers.

With this feature, SharePoint administrators can opt-in to allow applications running in app-only mode (without user context) to access Information Barriers (IB) protected sites.  You can try this feature by enabling the control using SharePoint Online PowerShell module.

Note: This feature is only applicable for organizations that have enabled SharePoint and OneDrive information barriers in their tenant.

When this will happen:

Preview: We will begin rolling out in early October 2023 and expect to complete rollout by mid-October 2023.

How this will affect your organization:

SharePoint administrators can leverage this opt-in capability to allow applications running in app-only mode to access IB protected sites using SharePoint Online PowerShell module.

What you need to do to prepare:

  1. Download the latest module of SharePoint Online Management Shell.
  2. Connect to SharePoint Online as a Global Administrator or SharePoint Administrator in Microsoft 365.
  3. To enable information barriers in SharePoint and OneDrive, run the following command: Set-SPOTenant -InformationBarriersSuspension $false
  4. After you’ve enabled information barriers for SharePoint and OneDrive in your organization, wait for approximately 1 hour for the changes to take effect.
