What it does

This local content safety policy setting adjusts the allowed severity of hate content to and from the Alternative Text scenario for the user. 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 to and from the Alternative Text scenario 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 to and from the Alternative Text scenario defaults to 2. For this policy setting, the order of priority is: 1. Allowed severity of hate content to and from the Alternative Text scenario for the computer. 2. Allowed severity of hate content in general for the computer. 3. Allowed severity of hate content to and from the Alternative Text scenario for the user. 4. Allowed severity of hate content in general for the user.

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
