### Product availability -A group of separate switches that control which Claude products and features are available to members. Each switch appears as its own row: **Claude Desktop**, **Chat in Claude Desktop**, **Advanced file analysis in Chat**, **Cowork in Claude Desktop**, **Code in Claude Desktop**, **Claude Code**, and **Claude for Microsoft 365**. All are on by default. Turning a switch off makes that product or feature unavailable. +A group of separate switches that control which Claude products and features are available to members.

All are on by default. -The **Chat in Claude Desktop**, **Cowork in Claude Desktop**, and **Code in Claude Desktop** switches each make one part of the app available to members. Chat is for simple conversations, Cowork is for longer tasks that Claude works through on its own in a local workspace folder, and Code is for software development. The **Claude Code** switch is separate and controls the standalone Claude Code command-line tool. +Turning off one of the three product switches (**Claude Desktop**, **Claude Code**, or **Claude for Microsoft 365**) makes Claude for Government stop serving that application your organization's configuration. From then on, Claude Desktop and the Claude for Microsoft 365 add-in are refused the organization's configuration when they request it, and Claude Code that is signed in to Claude for Government exits when it next starts (or right after sign-in) with a message that it couldn't load settings from the cloud gateway. Claude Code that is already running is not cut off and keeps working until it is next started. The product switches are not an access control on the Claude for Government service itself. What a member can reach is governed by their account, their [seat tier](/docs/government/org-admin/seat-tiers), and your agency's device and network management. To cut a member off at once, deactivate their account, after which they cannot sign in and requests from their existing sign-ins are refused (see [Deactivated users](/docs/government/org-admin/users#deactivated-users)). Turning off one of the other four switches removes that feature from Claude Desktop, as described below. + +The **Chat in Claude Desktop**, **Cowork in Claude Desktop**, and **Code in Claude Desktop** switches each make one part of the app available to members. Chat is for simple conversations, Cowork is for longer tasks that Claude works through on its own in a local workspace folder, and Code is for software development. The **Claude Code** switch is separate and applies to the standalone Claude Code command-line tool. When Chat and Cowork are both available, Claude Desktop presents them together as **Home** in its sidebar, next to **Code**. From Home, a member chooses **Chat** or **Cowork** in the message box, and the sidebar lists their chats and tasks together.
