The most important step is defining the label scope. In this step, you are separate the labels for SPO sites, emails or files. I’ll create 2 labels with different scopes one of them is sites and the other is sites & files as in images 14 & 15

Then, on the Define protection settings for groups and sites page, select one or both available options as in image 16:

  • Privacy and external user access settings to configure the Privacy and External users access settings.
  • External sharing and Conditional Access settings to configure the Control external sharing from labeled SharePoint sites and Use Azure AD Conditional Access to protect labeled SharePoint sites setting.

But if you selected Privacy and external user access, you will need to identify the privacy level . The levels can be summarized as in the following list:

  • Privacy: Keep the default of Public if you want anyone in your organization to access the team site or group where this label is applied.
  • Select Private if you want access to be restricted to only approved members in your organization.
  • Select None when you want to protect content in the container by using the sensitivity label, but still let users configure the privacy setting themselves.

For this scenario, I am choosing public

Now, you have created the labels and the next step is to publish the label and make it available for SPO sites and document libraries.
