Set up and manage enhanced image tagging in Microsoft Syntex
The image tagging service for Microsoft Syntex is set up in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Prerequisites
Licensing
Before you can use image tagging in Syntex, you must first link an Azure subscription in Syntex pay-as-you-go. Image tagging in Syntex is billed based on the type and number of transactions.
Permissions
You must be a SharePoint Administrator or Global Administrator to be able to access the Microsoft 365 admin center and set up image tagging.
Important
Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. This helps improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role that should be limited to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role.
Set up image tagging
After an Azure subscription is linked to Microsoft Syntex, image tagging will be automatically set up and enabled for all SharePoint sites.
Although you enable pay-as-you-go billing for image tagging, you'll be charged only when image tagging is enabled on a document library.
Manage sites
By default, image tagging is available for libraries on all SharePoint sites. Follow these steps to limit which sites users can apply image tagging.
In the Microsoft 365 admin center, select Setup.
Under Files and content, select Automate content processes with Syntex.
On the Automate content processes with Syntex page, select Go to Syntex settings.
On the Syntex page, in the Document & image services section, select Image tagging.
On the Image tagging panel:
a. Choose the site or sites on which this service should be enabled.
b. To restrict user access to this service, select Edit, and then select No sites or Selected sites (up to 100). Follow the instructions to either select the sites or upload a CSV listing a maximum of 100 sites. Be sure to add your content center site if you want it to be included. You can then manage site access permissions for the sites you selected.
c. Select Save.
