Hello, and welcome back. What we're gonna do in this quick demonstration is walk through the process of enabling Information Rights Management for SharePoint Online. Now I'm logged into my Microsoft 365 admin center as the global admin. So that's the starting point here. To make this happen, what we're gonna do from this admin center is select all in the left pane and open the SharePoint admin center.

Now, once we have the SharePoint admin center open, what we're gonna do is go into settings. And this is pretty straightforward actually. Once we're in settings, what we're gonna do is click the classic settings page. For whatever reason, Microsoft is making it difficult to get to this setting. So we'll go into classic settings. Now, just to be clear, by the time you watch this video there's a chance that the process may have been collapsed so to speak. But the bottom line is to enable Information Rights Management for SharePoint. You do it through the settings tab for SharePoint admin.

Now on this settings page here, if we scroll down we can see, we have Information Rights Management. We currently have this turned off. So what we'll do is we'll turn on the IRM service, and we'll okay. If we go back down and we can see that it's now enabled. And that's pretty much it, that's how you're gonna enable IRM for SharePoint Online.
