Applies To: Office 365

Windows Azure AD Rights Management can be made ready for use in your Microsoft Office 365 tenant account either by using the Office 365 admin center to activate the rights management capability or optionally, you can download and use the Windows PowerShell module for Windows Azure AD Rights Management to prepare your Office 365 tenant as well as to manage other advanced aspects of the for Rights Management capability.

By default, once you Install Windows PowerShell for rights management, and have activated Rights Management for use (either by using the Office 365 portal option or PowerShell-based administration), further administration might not be required. For some advanced user scenarios, however, you might require some more advanced capabilities which are only provided by working with the Rights Management and the Windows PowerShell tools to manage it. The following table helps you to determine which (if any) of these types of tasks are applicable to your needs and the appropriate Windows PowerShell cmdlets to be aware of if you are looking to use or explore these capabilities of Rights Management.
