???? User-by-user Analysis
User1 (Finance group):
Policy1 applies first (priority 0).
If User1 sends email externally with ≥ 5 CCNs, Policy1 encrypts the email and stops further processing.
Therefore, Policy2 never applies to User1.
User2 (Sales group):
Not in Finance, so Policy1 does not apply.
Policy2 applies (all Exchange email).
If User2 sends email externally with ≥ 5 CCNs, Policy2 action is enforced (restrict/block or encrypt).
