7171To set a default mode for new local sessions, add `permissions.defaultMode` to your [settings file](/docs/en/settings#settings-files). The desktop app reads the same settings files as the CLI. A mode you pick in the selector is remembered per folder and takes precedence over `defaultMode` for that folder, except Plan, which applies to the current session only.

75| **Manual** | `default` | Claude asks before editing files or running commands. You see a diff and can accept or reject each change. |
76| **Accept edits** | `acceptEdits` | Claude auto-accepts file edits and common filesystem commands like `mkdir`, `touch`, and `mv`, but still asks before running other terminal commands. Use this when you trust file changes and want faster iteration. |
77| **Plan** | `plan` | Claude reads files and runs commands to explore, then proposes a plan without editing your source code. Good for complex tasks where you want to review the approach first. |
78| **Auto** | `auto` | Claude executes all actions with background safety checks that verify alignment with your request. Reduces permission prompts while maintaining oversight. Appears when your account meets the [availability requirements](#auto-mode-availability) below; there is no separate Settings toggle for it. |
79| **Bypass permissions** | `bypassPermissions` | Claude runs without permission prompts, except those forced by explicit [ask rules](/docs/en/permissions#manage-permissions), connector tools [your organization set to `ask`](/docs/en/mcp#organization-controls-on-connector-tools), MCP tools marked [`requiresUserInteraction`](/docs/en/mcp#require-approval-for-a-specific-tool), removals targeting `/` or your home directory, safety classifiers when Claude [acts on external sites](#browse-external-sites), or desktop actions where Claude always asks first, such as [archiving a session](#work-across-sessions); the CLI's [cross-session messaging safeguards](/docs/en/permission-modes#skip-all-checks-with-bypasspermissions-mode) also still apply. Equivalent to `--dangerously-skip-permissions` in the CLI. On Pro and Max plans, enable it in your Settings → Claude Code under "Allow bypass permissions mode"; on Team and Enterprise plans there is no Settings toggle, and organization policy controls it instead. Only use this in sandboxed containers or VMs. |
