The DLP Creator has been unmodified for a long time. We are a huge tenant with loads of environments and we need to create catered DLP for many environments, sometimes 2 per week.

The order in which the settings are listed for the policy scope is super risky for us. We already twice changed the DLP for ALL Users in a moment of negligence.

Changing the order of these option to any other option being listed first, would be super helpful, as it lets us limit the environments before launching the DLP settings on all environments. Any other option allows to select environments in the next step, just the "Add all environments" Option does not.

We were raising attention about this topic and if you read this as an admin I would highly appreciate to upvote on my Ideas post https://ideas.powerapps.com/d365community/idea/2fd65da0-9108-f011-a4de-7c1e52e79aa7

Desired order:

- Add multiple environments

- Exclude certain environments

- Add all environments

@Ana-Kin

Thanks for sharing your concern — and you're absolutely right to raise this as a usability and risk issue, especially in large tenants where DLP (Data Loss Prevention) policies are created frequently.

Current Behavior

The default selection of "Add all environments" being listed first in the DLP policy scope setup is risky, as it:

Immediately applies the policy tenant-wide.
Does not allow environment selection in the next step.
Can lead to accidental broad enforcement, as you've experienced.

Your Suggested Order Makes Sense

Your proposed order:

Add multiple environments
Exclude certain environments
Add all environments

…would significantly reduce the risk of accidental tenant-wide policy application and aligns with safer defaults.
