Exam SC-401 Topic 1 Question 214 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's SC-401 exam
Question #: 214
Topic #: 1
HOTSPOT
You have a Microsoft SharePoint Online site that contains the following files.

Users are assigned roles for the site as shown in the following table.

Which files can User1 and User2 open? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer:


Explanation:

Let's break it down:
File1.docx # DLP action = None
No DLP restrictions, so it is fully accessible to both User1 (owner) and User2 (member).
File2.docx # DLP action = Matched by DLP
"Matched" means the DLP policy detected sensitive content but has not blocked access. Instead, it may generate an alert or policy tip.
Both User1 and User2 can still open this file.
File3.docx # DLP action = Blocked by DLP
"Blocked" means the DLP policy actively restricts access or sharing of the file.
User2 (member) cannot open this file.
However, User1 (site owner) can open it because site collection admins and owners always retain full control over content, even if a DLP rule applies.
Ref: Microsoft Purview DLP policy tips and enforcement
# DLP policies do not prevent SharePoint/OneDrive site collection admins (owners) from accessing content.
# Final Answer Table:
User1 (Site Owner): File1.docx, File2.docx, File3.docx
User2 (Site Member): File1.docx, File2.docx
