Description

This attribute controls whether users can use copy and paste in Windows or X application emulator sessions.

For a person object or organizational unit object, choose Use parent setting (on the command line, --clipboard 2) to inherit the setting of a parent object in the organizational hierarchy. This allows you to enable or disable copy and paste for many users without having to edit each person object.

For organization objects, the Use parent setting means use the array-wide setting configured on the Array Properties panel of Array Manager.

When a user starts a application, Secure Global Desktop checks the person object for the user and then any parent object further up the organizational hierarchy to see whether copy and paste is enabled or disabled. If all the objects checked are configured to use the parent's setting, then the array-wide default setting is used.

By default, copy and paste is allowed.
