eDiscovery premium features allow a Multi-Geo eDiscovery administrator to search all of the Geographies without needing to use a "Region" security filter. Data is exported to the Azure instance of the Primary Provisioned Geography location of the multi-geo Tenant.
Without eDiscovery premium features enabled, an eDiscovery manager or administrator of a Multi-Geo Tenant can conduct eDiscovery only in the Primary Provisioned Geography location of that Tenant. To support the ability to conduct eDiscovery for Satellite Geography locations, a new compliance security filter parameter named "Region" is available through PowerShell. This parameter can be used by Tenants whose Primary Provisioned Geography location is in North America, Europe, or Asia Pacific. eDiscovery with premium features is required for Tenants whose Primary Provisioned Geography location isn't in North America, Europe, or Asia Pacific and who need to perform eDiscovery across Satellite Geography locations.
A member of the Organization Management role group or a user with the Role Management role must assign eDiscovery Manager permissions in the Microsoft Purview portal to allow others to perform eDiscovery tasks and assign a "Region" parameter in their applicable Compliance Security Filter to specify the Geography for conducting eDiscovery as Satellite Geography location. Otherwise, no eDiscovery activities occur for the Satellite Geography location. Only one "Region" security filter per user is supported. See Assign eDiscovery permissions in the Microsoft Purview portal for more information.
When you set the eDiscovery Manager or Administrator role for a particular Satellite Geography location, the eDiscovery Manager or Administrator can only perform eDiscovery search actions against the SharePoint sites and OneDrive sites located in that Satellite Geography location. If an eDiscovery Manager or Administrator attempts to search SharePoint or OneDrive sites outside the specified Satellite Geography location, no results are returned. Also, when the eDiscovery Manager or Administrator for a Satellite Geography location triggers an export, data is exported to the Azure instance of that region. This helps organizations stay in compliance by not allowing content to be exported across controlled borders.
Note
If an eDiscovery Manager needs to search across multiple SharePoint Satellite Geography locations, create another user account for the eDiscovery Manager that specifies the alternate Satellite Geography location where the OneDrive or SharePoint sites are located.
