Information Rights Management in Office 365 (IRM SharePoint Online)

 

Office 365 recently comes with a IRM feature that you can control the rights of  a document library and a List.

Current IRM supports only Restrict permissions on this library on download but this option contains other few options that I will explain later.

SharePoint online currently supports below documents types. This may change in new releases.

  • PDF
  • Word, Excel, and PowerPoint (97-2003 versions)
  • The XML Paper Specification (XPS) format
