Users Cannot Copy and Paste Text Or Graphics

For Windows and X applications, users can only copy and paste text under the following conditions:

In the SGD Administration Console, on the Global Settings » Client Device tab, copy and paste for SGD as a whole must be enabled. Copy and paste is enabled by default.
The user must be allowed to copy and paste. If the Copy and Paste attribute on the Client Device tab for the user profile is selected, then the user can copy and paste. This attribute might be configured to use the setting of any parent organizational unit or organization object. Copy and paste is enabled by default.
To be able to paste data to another Windows or X application displayed through SGD, the source application (the application the data was copied from) must have an Application's Clipboard Security Level that is lower than, or equal to, the target application. The default security level is 3.
To be able to paste data to an application running on the client device, the source application must have an Application's Clipboard Security Level that is lower than, or equal to, the Client's Clipboard Security Level (on the Global Settings » Client Device tab of the SGD Administration Console). The default Client's Clipboard Security Level is 3.

If these conditions are not met, users paste the following message instead of the copied data:
