Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 109, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Configure the list of URL patterns that specify which sites can use the clipboard site permission. Setting the policy lets you create a list of URL patterns that specify sites that can't use the clipboard site permission. This doesn't include all clipboard operations on origins that match the patterns. For example, users can still paste using keyboard shortcuts because this isn't controlled by the clipboard site permission. Leaving the policy unset means 'DefaultClipboardSetting' (Default clipboard site permission) applies for all sites if it's set. If it isn't set, the user's personal setting applies. For more information about valid url patterns, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095322. Wildcards, *, are allowed. Example value: https://www.example.com [*.]example.edu
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
