If you’re using Microsoft Intune policy management (MIPM) on your Android or iOS device, you may have a notification saying that “your organization’s data cannot be pasted here”.
This is a message that shows up when users try to copy data from Outlook to an unauthorized app. It is caused by a unique function of MIPM that doesn’t allow a user to copy data from an unauthorized app for security purposes.
Fix 1: Restart the App
If you get the “Your organization’s data cannot be pasted here” error while trying to copy and paste content from an Office app into another, it is likely due to Microsoft Intune policy management. This policy limits users’ ability to copy and paste data between managed apps for security reasons.
If the problem persists, try restarting the app to see if it fixes the issue. Restarting the device and exiting the troublesome app may help you determine whether the issue is related to an older version of the app or a temporary interruption in service.
In addition, if you’re receiving the “Your organization’s data cannot be copied here” message while using Google Keyboard on your Android device, you may be able to solve it by long-pressing the screen area where you want to paste the data. This is a suggestion from Gboard and typically solves the problem.
If you’re unable to fix the issue with these steps, talk to your IT administrator about your current app management policies. Your IT administrator can reconfigure the settings to allow you to cut, copy, and paste between authorized apps. These policies can also prevent you from pasting data between unauthorized apps. However, this can be a complicated process.
Fix 2: Reinstall the App
If you’ve tried the other solutions and still can’t paste data, it may be time to reinstall the app. This is the best way to ensure that there are no leftover files from the previous version and that you have a clean slate.
If the error is affecting both your computer and mobile device, it may be because you are using outdated versions of the apps involved in the transfer. The following steps will help you fix this issue:
Open the app on your computer and try to paste the data again. This should resolve the problem.
In addition, try to update the app on your mobile device. If you can’t do that, you might need to contact your IT administrator.
Alternatively, you can reinstall the app by going to Settings > Apps. This is the easiest way to resolve this issue.
If you’re an Android user, long-pressing the area of the screen where you want to paste your data will allow you to copy and paste it. Similarly, this solution will work for iOS users too.
Fix 3: Contact Your IT Administrator
If you’re getting an error message saying that your organization’s data cannot be pasted here, you should contact your IT administrator. They might be able to modify the app management policy to allow users to cut, copy and paste between multiple apps. This will eliminate the problem of the “Your Organization’s Data Cannot be Pasted Here” error. Then you can use the application again.
If this does not work, then you can try other solutions that we have mentioned in this article. Please feel free to comment in the comments section if you have any further suggestions on how to solve the issue!
