Hi,
is there any way to disable the Copy/Paste function in the SAPGUI? Especially disabling the key commands CTRL-Y and CTRL-C.
The customer would like to disable any kind of copy function
Thanks in advance

I have seen this before for ALV grids, but am not sure whether it was a missing feature or infact an intended and possibly optional one.
I suspect the former case to be true, so you will need to use SAPGui engineering to disable it and ensure that the users cannot connect from a machine they have control over to the server or an older SAPGui version. These sort of preferences have typically also been HKEY_CURRENT_USER settings so you might have trouble retro-fitting it as well.
Which SAPGui version are you using? There is a new "SAPGui Security Center" available in 7.20 which might offer this control (amongst several others).
Cheers,
Julius
@ Nishant: Personally I have used the camera on my iPhone but some installations ban cameras, so I bought a "Teach yourself photographic memory in 21 days" course and have not looked back since. I can also count cards if they let me see them...

Hi Holger,
I do not know answer to your question but I am still curiuos to know what do we achieve by doing this ? and how are we disabling PrintScreen tab in any desktop or laptop ?

Hi Nishant,
the customer wants tight security on his system: The user should not be able to cut&paste HR data for example into emails or other application that could be sent to the outside world. ALso all usb ports etc are disabled.
I can't go into details here - security issue!

Hi Julius,
thx for the answer. The 7.20 SAPGUI way sounds promising - we will have a check. The customer is willing to do whatever settings (Windows, SAP) needs to be done - luckily, he has central configuration management for all desktops.
cheers

Holger,
I'm attaching a link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/rightsmgmt/default.mspx
This is something that has been specifically designed for high security requirements particularly within government / military environments. Your client may find that this is of more use as they can have a single method of locking down several areas rather than have multiple products or processes.
Hope that helps

Hi Tony,
this sounds great as well, I forward this as another test proposal. I guess the custmer will have to do some homework. ...
thx
Holger
