We are releasing an update to restrict access to the following information only to admins having the ‘Data Classification Content Viewer’ role -

  1. View source information in Activity Explorer and
  2. View surrounding context for associated SIT types in Activity Explorer

When this will happen:

Public Preview: We will begin rolling out mid-April 2024 and expect to complete by late April 2024.

General Availability: We will begin rolling out mid-May 2024 and expect to complete by late May 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

Existing admins who do not have the ‘Data Classification Content Viewer’ role assigned to any of their existing Role Groups will no longer have access to view source and SIT surrounding context.

What you need to do to prepare:

Ensure any admins that need to have access to ‘View Source’ and ‘SIT surrounding context’ have the ‘Data Classification Content Viewer’ role assigned to them.
