1513| Setting | What it does | Default | Applies to |

16| **Claude Desktop home** | Chooses what members see in Claude Desktop: **Standard** (Chat and Cowork combined), **Simple** (Chat), **Chat only** (Chat without Advanced file analysis), or **Off** (Code only). **Separate settings** leaves it to the Chat, file analysis, and Cowork switches.

1917| **Chat in Claude Desktop** | Lets members chat with Claude in Claude Desktop, for quick questions and drafting. Without Chat, members cannot open their existing chats. | On | Claude Desktop |

2119| **Cowork in Claude Desktop** | Lets members give Claude longer tasks, such as research, analysis, and drafting documents, which it works through on its own in Claude Desktop. Without Cowork, members cannot continue their Cowork tasks. | On | Claude Desktop |

2725Turning off **Claude Desktop**, **Claude Code**, or **Claude for Microsoft 365** stops the members the setting applies to from using that application. An organization cannot turn on a product that the tenant has turned off. These switches turn applications off, not accounts, and are not a security boundary: to cut one member off from everything at once, deactivate their account (see [Deactivated users](https://claude.com/docs/government/org-admin/users.md#deactivated-users)).

29The **Claude Desktop home** row appears once your agency has access to it, and it then holds the Chat, Advanced file analysis, and Cowork switches. A choice other than **Separate settings** overrides those switches, unless a level above has locked one. If you choose **Off**, keep Code turned on, or Claude Desktop has nothing to open. Under **Separate settings**, if Chat, Cowork, and Code are all turned off, Claude Desktop keeps Cowork on.
27From November 10, 2026, members whose settings give them Cowork get the [**Standard** home](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/unified-claude.md#what-users-see-with-unified-claude) in Claude Desktop 4.29.0 or later, even where Chat or Advanced file analysis is off. To change the home, use the **Config** page, not `desktopHome` in a device management profile.

77* Fixed the tenant portal's Identity and access page so that it says its SCIM details couldn't load instead of looking as if SCIM had never been set up.
88* (breaking) Changed **Claude Desktop home** where a setting enforced at a higher level conflicts with the choice: members on Claude Desktop 1.52386.0 or later may lose Chat, Advanced file analysis or Cowork after a required relaunch.
9* Changed Claude Desktop for members who have **Cowork in Claude Desktop** off and no **Claude Desktop home** chosen: from November 9, 2026 (UTC), they may be asked to relaunch and then see the new home screen, still without Cowork.
9* Changed Claude Desktop for members who have **Chat in Claude Desktop** on, **Cowork in Claude Desktop** off, and no **Claude Desktop home** chosen: by November 9, 2026 (UTC), they may be asked to relaunch and then see the new home screen, still without Cowork.
1010* Changed the Code tab in Claude Desktop to ask the member before each command Claude runs in its Terminal panel, even in bypass-permissions or Auto mode, while **Blocked shell commands** lists any command.
1111* Improved directory sync (SCIM) so that one tenant's very large sync no longer holds up directory changes in other tenants.
1212* Added a **Chat only** choice to the **Claude Desktop home** setting on the Config pages, which gives members Chat without Advanced file analysis or Cowork; with this choice the new home screen shows on Claude Desktop 2.2553.0 or later.
