Controlling copy and paste

Copy and paste restrictions allow app developers to prevent content from being copied out of a wrapped app.

About this task

The Restrict Clipboard Export setting in the Security section of a persona policy controls copy and paste enforcement.

When enabled, content can't be copied outside the wrapped app, but can be copied to other MaaS360 Workplace apps. When an app user tries to paste content outside wrapped apps or other MaaS360 Workplace apps, this text is pasted from clipboard instead: "This action is not allowed as per your corporate policy.".

Procedure

  1. Create a workplace policy for the devices or users that need copy and paste management.
    You can also modify an existing policy.
  2. Go to the Security section of the policy.
  3. In the policy, open Configure Data Protection Policies.
  4. Enable Restrict Clipboard Export.
  5. Configure the rest of the policy as needed.
  6. Make sure that the designated devices are assigned to the policy.
