222222## Restrict model selection
223223
224Enterprise administrators can use `availableModels` in [managed or policy settings](/docs/en/managed-settings) to restrict which models users can select. Entries match a model family such as `sonnet`, a version prefix such as `claude-sonnet-4-5`, or a full model ID such as `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`. A version prefix also matches later model IDs that extend it with another segment, so `claude-fable-5` permits both Fable 5 and Fable 5.1, while `claude-fable-5-1` permits Fable 5.1 only. To block a model the list permits, or to make each model ID entry permit only the version it names, see [Block specific models or versions](#block-specific-models-or-versions).

226226On platforms that embed Claude Code and set [`CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST`](/docs/en/env-vars), the host's model configuration takes precedence over managed model settings, while a managed `availableModels` allowlist stays in force unless the host supplies its own; [Exceptions to managed settings precedence](/docs/en/settings#exceptions-to-managed-settings-precedence) says which keys and variables the host overrides.
