retentionLabel resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph.security

Represents how organizations, for compliance and governance purposes, can manage their data at an item level (email or document), including whether and for how long to retain or delete the item.

Organizations can use retention labels for different types of content that require different retention settings. For example, they can apply a retention label to tax forms and supporting documents to retain them for the period required by law.

Organizations can configure retention labels with the retention periods and actions based on factors such as the date last modified or created. They can also start different retention periods by specifying an event that can trigger retention when the event occurs.

For more information on how retention labels work, when to use them, and how Microsoft Purview supports retention labels to let you configure retention and deletion settings, see Learn about retention policies and retention labels.
