Restrict clipboard transfer from client to server

This policy setting allows you to restrict clipboard data transfers from client to server.

If you enable this policy setting, you must choose from the following behaviors:

- Disable clipboard transfers from client to server.

- Allow plain text copying from client to server.

- Allow plain text and images copying from client to server.

- Allow plain text, images and Rich Text Format copying from client to server.

- Allow plain text, images, Rich Text Format and HTML copying from client to server.

If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can copy arbitrary contents from client to server if clipboard redirection is enabled.

Note: This policy setting appears in both Computer Configuration and User Configuration. If both policy settings are configured, the stricter restriction will be used.
