I have began working with IRM policies in Office 3. The situation revolved around a document that had an IRM policy applied to it and was shared with an external user. What I found out was that an IRM protected document that is shared to an external user, will not be able to be viewed after it is downloaded, unless they used an Office 3. ID to access the document. I have confirmed this scenario with Microsoft as being unsupported. If a standard Live ID is used the document will be able only be able to be viewed in the browser. Example. Test Document 1 is in an IRM protected library and shared with an emailoutlook. It can be viewed in the browser and the IRM policy can be viewed as working. If that document is downloaded and then opened the user will receive and error stating You do not have credentials that allow you to open this document.

You can request updated permissions from No matter what you choose here you will never be able to access the document. The only way to allow that external user to access the document is to change permission directly on the document itself using the Change Permission option in the yellow notification bar in the full Word client. The reason that this is happening is because when a Live ID non O3. Share. Point Online SPO protected library, SPO protects the doc with IRM by giving permission to your Live ID. When Office client opens the document, it needs to connect to the Azure RMS server using an Org ID. Then Office explicitly looks for an Org ID token that has right to open it, which is by design. It fails because no Org ID  actually is given permission the permission is given to the Live ID. Basically that external user was granted permission in Share. Point Online but that permission does not pass through to Azure RMS unless they use an O3. I dont believe this is a common scenario but I believe this is an important use case to know as I could not find this unsupported scenario documented anywhere. As the move to O3. To continue this post I have included information and configuration steps around Azure RMS and IRM in Office 3. Azure Rights Management System RMSRMS exists to protect company data.

By leveraging Windows Azure Active Directory, the Azure RMS service acts as a trusted hub for secure collaboration where one organization can easily share information securely with other organizations without additional setup or configuration. A few facts about Microsofts Azure RMS Azure RMS is at the core of the Rights Management suite and relies on Windows Azure services. A document is protected by RMS without the document being sent to the Azure service. Viewing or sharing protected documents is enabled without the documents themselves being sent to the Azure service. Sharing a file occurs without the document being relayed via the Azure RMS service.

IRM enables you to limit the actions that users can take on files that have been downloaded from lists or libraries. IRM encrypts the downloaded files and limits the set of users and programs that are allowed to decrypt these files. IRM can also limit the rights of the users who are allowed to read files, so that they cannot take actions such as print copies of the files or copy text from them. Unlike some of the other applications that support RMS, information protection is always applied by an administrator, never an end user. And it is applied at the list or library level for all documents in that container, rather than on individual files.
