281* [Cloud sessions](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web), including those you start from the Desktop app, run on Anthropic-managed VMs by default: settings deployed to your device do not reach them, so deliver the allowlist through server-managed settings. Sessions your organization routes to a [self-hosted environment](/docs/en/self-hosted-environments) run on your own compute and also read the managed settings file in the runner image. [How Claude Code combines managed sources](/docs/en/managed-settings#how-claude-code-combines-managed-sources) says when that file applies. A mid-session model switch in a cloud session is rejected when the requested model is excluded by the allowlist. When the `availableModels` list in your server-managed settings is non-empty, the server rejects a user's request to start a cloud session on a model the list excludes.

A mid-session model switch in a cloud session is rejected when the requested model is excluded by the allowlist. When the `availableModels` list in your server-managed settings is non-empty, the server rejects a request to start a cloud session at claude.ai/code or from the Desktop app on a model the list excludes.
282* [Claude Tag](https://claude.com/docs/claude-tag/overview) sessions run in cloud environments but don't receive server-managed settings; in a [self-hosted environment](/docs/en/self-hosted-environments), they still read the managed settings file in the runner image. To set the model for those sessions, see [Choose the model for a scope](https://claude.com/docs/claude-tag/admins/customize#choose-the-model-for-a-scope) in the Claude Tag admin guide.
282283* Cowork, the agentic-work tab in the Claude Desktop app, runs its sessions on Claude Code but, by design, does not receive server-managed settings from the claude.ai admin console. A managed settings file applies to Cowork sessions when it is present where the session runs; remote Cowork sessions run on Anthropic-managed VMs, where a device-deployed file is not present.
283284* Sessions on [third-party providers](/docs/en/server-managed-settings#platform-availability) such as Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, and [Claude Platform on AWS](/docs/en/claude-platform-on-aws) do not receive server-managed settings, so deliver the allowlist through MDM or managed settings files there.
284285* Server-managed delivery also requires the session to authenticate with an [eligible login or key](/docs/en/server-managed-settings#platform-availability). Fleets that generate keys only through an [`apiKeyHelper`](/docs/en/settings-reference#apikeyhelper) script should deliver the allowlist through MDM or managed settings files.
