Microsoft Interview: Enterprise Copilot Grounding (EXPLAINED)
Hard Microsoft company question — enterprise copilot grounding, Graph permissions, tenant isolation, and compliance.
TL;DR — Quick Answer
Ground via Microsoft Graph with user-delegated permissions — retrieve only docs/messages the user can access; semantic index per tenant with ACL on every chunk; hybrid search over SharePoint/OneDrive; cite source file + snippet in answers; sensitivity labels respected; no cross-tenant retrieval; audit logs for compliance; abstain when retrieval empty; optional web grounding separately labeled. Integrate with Purview DLP on prompts/responses; regional data residency; admin controls to disable categories (email vs files).
