Settings Window toolbar button in the sidebar and turn on Enable Command-A, Command-C,
Command-V, and Command-X. (This option appears in the Settings window only if you are using a

client systems and paste into their remote desktops and applications, or else the administrator must
configure another policy that allows copying and pasting. For more information, see HTML Access Group
