ProtectionPolicyManager.TryApplyProcessUIPolicy(String) Method

Definition

Note

Starting in July 2022, Microsoft is deprecating Windows Information Protection (WIP) and the APIs that support WIP. Microsoft will continue to support WIP on supported versions of Windows. New versions of Windows won't include new capabilities for WIP, and it won't be supported in future versions of Windows. For more information, see Announcing sunset of Windows Information Protection.

For your data protection needs, Microsoft recommends that you use Microsoft Purview Information Protection and Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention. Purview simplifies the configuration set-up and provides an advanced set of capabilities.

Enables UI policy enforcement for an enterprise identity. When an app is about to display a protected file (such as a PDF) or resource (buffer or stream) on its UI, it must enable UI policy enforcement based on the identity the file is protected to. A call to TryApplyProcessUIPolicy ensures that the OS knows about the current context of the app.
