# Data Copying

Whether members may copy query results out of SQL Editor is a workspace-level setting: **Settings** > **General**, under the **SQL Editor** section, toggle **Enable data copying**. It is on by default.

When it is off, the result panel hides its **Copy** buttons and blocks text selection, so results cannot be copied to the clipboard. Members can still run queries and read the results on screen.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This is enforced by the SQL Editor interface, not the server: a member who can run the query can still receive its rows through the API or an [MCP client](https://docs.bytebase.com/integrations/mcp.md). To control who can read the data, use [database permissions](https://docs.bytebase.com/security/database-permission/overview.md) and [data masking](https://docs.bytebase.com/security/data-masking/overview.md).
