844844Which managed settings reach a Desktop session depends on where that session runs. Model restrictions such as [`availableModels`](/docs/en/model-config#restrict-model-selection) are enforced in Desktop's Claude Code sessions the same way as in the terminal CLI; see [surface coverage](/docs/en/model-config#surface-coverage).

846* **Local sessions on this machine**: a managed settings file deployed to disk applies. Managed settings pushed remotely through the admin console also reach these sessions on Anthropic's API when the session authenticates with an [eligible login or key](/docs/en/server-managed-settings#platform-availability), following the same [settings precedence](/docs/en/settings#settings-precedence) as the terminal CLI.
846* **Local sessions on this machine**: a managed settings file deployed to disk applies. Managed settings pushed remotely through the admin console also reach these sessions on Anthropic's API when the session authenticates with an [eligible login](/docs/en/server-managed-settings#platform-availability), following the same [settings precedence](/docs/en/settings#settings-precedence) as the terminal CLI.
847847* **[Cloud sessions](#cloud-sessions)**: receive [server-managed settings](/docs/en/server-managed-settings); device-deployed files don't reach them, because they run on Anthropic-managed VMs. Sessions routed to a [self-hosted environment](/docs/en/self-hosted-environments) 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.
848848* **[SSH sessions](#ssh-sessions)**: the session reads the managed settings file from the remote host. Desktop itself reads `sshConfigs`, `sshHostAllowlist`, `disableSshSavedPasswords`, and `disableDesktopLocalSessions` on the local machine. If you deliver more than one managed source, it reads them from [one by default](/docs/en/managed-settings#how-claude-code-combines-managed-sources).
849849* **[Cowork](https://claude.com/docs/cowork/overview) sessions**: in a Cowork session on this machine, Claude Code never fetches admin-console settings, even when the user signs in with a Team or Enterprise account, and reads policy deployed to the machine unless your Claude Desktop configuration sets `requireCoworkFullVmSandbox`. Remote Cowork sessions receive neither. See [where and when a policy applies](/docs/en/managed-settings#where-and-when-a-policy-applies) for which device files reach Cowork, and [MCP permission rules](/docs/en/permissions#mcp) for how `Bash` and `WebFetch` rules apply to Cowork's tools.

1046#### Claude Code version in the Code tab
1047
1048To see which version of Claude Code a session runs, type `/status` in a local session in the **Code** tab and read the **Claude Code** row, which shows a version such as `2.1.286`.
1049
1050To get a newer version for local sessions, open **Claude → Check for Updates** on macOS or **Help → Check for Updates** on Windows, then start a new session.
1051
1052In a local session, the **Code** tab runs its own copy of Claude Code, which has its own version number. The desktop app downloads and updates that copy, so it can differ from the `claude` command in your terminal, and updating one doesn't update the other.
