Question

A marketing coordinator at Contoso uses Microsoft 365 Copilot to ask, 'Summarize the latest details from the confidential 2025 acquisition plan.' The coordinator has no permission to open that SharePoint document. What will Copilot most likely do, and why?

Accepted Answer

Copilot will exclude that document from its response because it only returns content the user is already permitted to access.

Answer

Copilot will summarize the document because Copilot bypasses individual file permissions to give complete answers.

Answer

Copilot will return the summary but automatically notify the document owner that the coordinator viewed it.

Answer

Copilot will summarize a cached public version of the file stored in its training data.
