To analyze AI interaction events, including the content of prompts and responses, within Microsoft Purview, a user needs permissions to access the Content Explorer. Microsoft Purview uses a two-level access control model for Content Explorer to adhere to the principle of least privilege. The Content Explorer List Viewer role grants permission to see the list of items (in this case, AI interactions). The Content Explorer Content Viewer role grants the additional permission to open and view the actual content of those items. Therefore, User1 requires both roles to perform the complete task of analyzing the prompts and responses.

A. Information Protection Analysts: This role is for managing data classification, sensitivity labels, and data loss prevention (DLP) policies, not for viewing content in Content Explorer.

B. Security Reader: This is a broad Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Defender XDR role providing read-only access to various security features, but it does not grant specific permissions to Content Explorer.

D. Insider Risk Management Investigators: This is a highly privileged role specific to the Insider Risk Management solution and is not the least-privileged role required for viewing AI interactions in DSPM.

To also see the content of the files in content explorer, you must be a member of the Content Explorer Content Viewer role group."

2. Microsoft Learn. "Investigate AI interactions in Microsoft Purview." Microsoft Purview documentation. This document explicitly states the required permissions for the task described in the question: "To view the content of prompts and responses, you need to be a member of the Content Explorer Content Viewer role group. To view the list of interactions, you need to be a member of the Content Explorer List Viewer role group."
