MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
You are configuring an app protection policy in Microsoft Intune for iOS/iPadOS devices. Which setting can you enforce to prevent users from copying data from a managed app and pasting it into an unmanaged app?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse device-level restrictions (like jailbreak detection or backup blocking) with app-level data transfer controls, assuming any security setting prevents copy/paste, when only the specific 'Restrict cut, copy, and paste' setting governs clipboard behavior between managed and unmanaged apps.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Restrict cut, copy, and paste between other apps
The 'Restrict cut, copy, and paste between other apps' setting in an Intune app protection policy (APP) for iOS/iPadOS directly controls data transfer between managed and unmanaged apps. When set to 'Blocked' or 'Policy Managed with Paste In', it prevents users from copying data from a managed app and pasting it into an unmanaged app, enforcing data leakage prevention at the OS clipboard level via the Intune MAM SDK.
