Sensitivity label cannot be assigned since provided sensitivity label is not available or supported.

Question

Hello,

When using the assignSensitivityLabel API call to assign an existing sensitivity label to a target file, I am getting an HTTP 400 response with the following error:

The label definitely exists and I use the ID as provided by the sensitivityLabels retrieval API endpoint.

What am I doing wrong?

{'error': {'code': 'invalidRequest',
  'message': 'Sensitivity label cannot be assigned since provided sensitivity label is not available or supported.',
  'innerError': {'code': 'badArgument',
   'date': '2024-09-26T18:46:35',
   'request-id': 'a06824da-0daf-4110-96b5-256744ced329',
   'client-request-id': 'a06824da-0daf-4110-96b5-256744ced329'}}}

Hi @Sandeep Y

According to your error message, check the related documents. The error may be caused by the following conditions:

1.According to the documentation, there are several file types that support adding sensitivity labels. Please check whether your file is supported.

2.According to the documentation, it is also not possible to add sensiticity labels to your files when they are protected.

3.Finally, it's worth checking if you have sensitivity tags enabled for SharePoing and OneDrive.

Hope this helps.
