Applying Sensitivity Labels to Groups In Entra

-
If you have read the latest Microsoft Entra Community newsletter, you probably know about one of the latest new features to become available which is the ability to apply sensitivity labels in Entra. This feature can help admins centralize policy and controls on a group level, which is a major step towards achieving tighter compliance within your Microsoft environment.
