In that case the most restrictive policies from both policies will apply.

Hi @tom555

An example, you have 2 DLP policies applied to an environment, policy 1 has the Dataverse connector classified as blocked, policy 2 has the Dataverse connector classified as Business. Blocked is the most restrictive classification, therefore, in an environment where policy 1 and policy 2 are both applied, the Dataverse connector will be blocked.

Take a look at this article for more examples

Thank you @HSheild

Scenario 1:
In case if DLP 1 has two connectors data verse, outlook in business category and DLP 2 has SQL and azure in non business category then combined effect will be as follows:

Resulted/combined DLP policy as most restrictive one from Scenario 1:
data verse, outlook in business category
SQL and azure in non business category

Scenario 2:
In case if DLP 1 has two connectors data verse, outlook in business category and DLP 2 has data verse in business category then combined effect will be as follows:

Resulted/combined DLP policy as most restrictive one from Scenario 2:
data verse in business category

Is above understanding correct?

Thanks

For example,

Policy 1 has SharePoint and OneDrive as a Business Connector and DropBox as a non-business connector and File System as a Blocked connector.

Policy 2 has the same settings except OneDrive is a non-Business connector.

The result would be that SharePoint and OneDrive could not be used in the same app because OneDrive will default to a non-business connector (due to #2) and SharePoint will be a business connector (due to #1) File System connector will be blocked entirely.
