    • Clipboard

    Clipboard controls whether users can copy from or paste into a connected asset, and it can cap the amount of text and the size of files moved through the clipboard. Rules match users, assets, and accounts, so restrictions can be narrower than the asset authorization itself.

    Open the page from Console > ACLs > Clipboard.

    Figure 1: Create clipboard control with operations, limits, and action.

    Overview

    The page title is Clipboard Control. Each rule selects the clipboard operations to manage (copy, paste), optional limits, and the action applied when the rule matches. Rules are scoped to the current organization and are evaluated by priority, where a lower number is matched earlier.

    Before you begin

    • Sign in with an account that can manage ACLs.
    • Decide whether the rule should restrict copying, pasting, or both.
    • If you plan to enforce limits, confirm the expected size units with the asset owners: text limits are measured in characters and file limits in MB.

    Example configurations

    GoalConfiguration
    Block all clipboard use on production databasesUsers: specified group; Assets: production database nodes; Operations: Copy and Paste; Action: Reject.
    Allow copied text up to 1,000 charactersOperations: Copy; Copy text limit: 1000; Action: Accept.
    Allow small file transfers onlyDownload and upload file size limits: 10 MB each; Action: Accept.
    Warning

    With Action: Reject, the selected operations are blocked for every matched connection. Leave the limits at 0 only when unlimited clipboard usage is acceptable, and test a reject rule on a small user group before enabling it broadly.
