This is our Data Loss Prevention (DLP) feature working as intended. To protect intellectual property, tenant administrators can restrict the ability to copy code out of the environment.

If you believe you need this access, please contact your Tenant Admin. They can enable copy/paste for your role via Role Permissions → can_copy_paste.

All clipboard attempts (allowed or blocked) are logged in the activity feed for audit purposes.

Yes! While Nexus acts as your primary editor, you can pull from and submit Merge Requests to GitHub or GitLab directly from the WorkMA interface.

The Sentinel AI will audit your MR for security vulnerabilities before it is pushed to your external repository. This ensures code quality and security compliance.

The Panopticon monitors active typing and IDE focus. It aggregates keystrokes into "Active Sessions." If a developer is idle for too long, the session pauses automatically.

Payroll uses these mathematically verified "Active Hours" rather than manual timesheets. Timesheets are accessible from Workspaces → Payroll.

Admins review and approve timesheets before export.

The AI Copilot in Nexus provides context-aware code suggestions as you type. It analyzes the surrounding code, file context, and project structure to offer relevant completions and snippets.

  • Tab to accept: Press Tab to accept a suggestion.
  • Esc to dismiss: Press Esc to ignore a suggestion.
  • Multi-line: Copilot can suggest entire functions, classes, or boilerplate.

Copilot suggestions are generated server-side and never leave the WorkMA platform.

The Sentinel AI automatically reviews merge requests for:

  • Security vulnerabilities — SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets.
  • Code quality — complexity, duplication, naming conventions.
  • Best practices — error handling, input validation, test coverage.

Findings are posted as PR comments and visible in the workspace dashboard. You can configure which rules are enabled in Admin → Sentinel Settings.
