When you activate Windows Azure AD Rights Management, you are turning on this feature for all rights-enabled services and applications. You must activate Rights Management before you can begin using information rights management (IRM) features with your Microsoft Office 365 applications and services.

| For organizations that are subscribers to Office 365 Enterprise (E3/E4) or Academic (A3/A4), activating rights management should be performed using the Office 365 admin center portal as described in the following section. Another way of completing this process is by using the Enable-Aadrm cmdlet provided with the Windows PowerShell module for Windows Azure AD Rights Management, which should only be used as needed for administrators and users of other service portals. For more information on this advanced alternative procedure, see Enabling the rights management service. |
