Deploy managed settings
Deploy managed settings to every developer's machine: delivery mechanisms per OS, how Claude Code combines managed sources, and how to verify enforcement.
Managed settings are the settings your organization deploys to every developer's machine. Claude Code applies them above every other level, so no user, project, local, or --settings value overrides them, apart from a few security-sensitive exceptions where a stricter value from a lower level still counts.
This page is for the administrator who deploys managed settings or debugs why one isn't applying. To decide what to enforce, start with the Decide what to enforce table. For the claude.ai console path, see Server-managed settings. For which file a developer's own values go in, see Settings.
