Quick Answer
The answer is to configure the "Save copies of org data" setting. This setting directly controls whether users can save or copy corporate data from managed apps to personal locations, such as saving an email attachment to a personal cloud storage app. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of Intune app protection policy (MAM) data transfer settings, where the key distinction is that "Save copies of org data" governs save actions, while "Restrict cut, copy, and paste" governs clipboard behavior and "Allow app to transfer data to other apps" governs inbound data flow. A common trap is confusing the clipboard setting with the save setting, but remember: clipboard controls copy/paste between apps, while save controls the actual act of saving a file or data copy. For a quick memory tip, think "Save = Save copies, Paste = Clipboard" to keep the two distinct.
This MD-102 practice question tests your understanding of protect devices. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
