Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Office 2016 (Machine)\AI\Content Safety\General Description
This local content safety policy setting adjusts the allowed severity of hate content in general for the computer. The allowed severity may range from 0 to 7. 0 means allow no hate content. 7 means allow all hate content. For more information on content safety severities, please refer to the following documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/content-safety/concepts/harm-categories?tabs=definitions For local content safety policy, scenario-specific settings are prioritized over general settings and computer settings are prioritized over user settings. If a higher priority policy setting is not configured, then: - If this policy setting is not configured, the allowed severity of hate content in general is determined by lower priority policy settings. - If this policy setting is not configured and lower priority policy settings are also not configured, the allowed severity of hate content in general defaults to 2. For this policy setting, the order of priority is: 1. Allowed severity of hate content to and from [a specific scenario] for the computer. 2. Allowed severity of hate content in general for the computer. 3. Allowed severity of hate content to and from [a specific scenario] for the user. 4. Allowed severity of hate content in general for the user.
