Default clipboard site permission

Supported versions

  • On Windows and macOS since 109 or later

Description

This policy controls the default value for the clipboard site permission.

Setting the policy to 2 blocks sites from using the clipboard site permission.

Setting the policy to 3 or leaving it unset lets the user change the setting and decide if the clipboard APIs are available when a site wants to use an API.

This policy can be overridden for specific URL patterns using the ClipboardAllowedForUrls and ClipboardBlockedForUrls policies.

This policy only affects clipboard operations controlled by the clipboard site permission and doesn't affect sanitized clipboard writes or trusted copy and paste operations.

Policy options mapping:

  • BlockClipboard (2) = Do not allow any site to use the clipboard site permission

  • AskClipboard (3) = Allow sites to ask the user to grant the clipboard site permission

Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.
