678678The [permission mode](/docs/en/permissions) depends on how you started the session:
679679 
680680* **Backgrounded with `/bg` or `←`**: Claude Code keeps the permission mode the session was in, so one you switched to `acceptEdits` or `auto` stays there after detaching
681* **Dispatched from an agent view you opened with `←`**: the target's own configuration comes first, and the permission mode of the session you came from applies when nothing else sets one
681* **Dispatched from an agent view you opened with `←`**: Claude Code takes the new session's permission mode from the target directory's configuration first, then from the session you came from
682682* **Dispatched from `claude agents` started in a shell, or with `claude --bg`**: the new session starts the way a new `claude` session in that directory would, unless you dispatched it from an agent view you opened with [dispatch defaults](#dispatch-defaults). [Which permission mode a session starts in](/docs/en/permission-modes#which-mode-a-session-starts-in) lists the order
683683 
684684For a session you dispatch from an agent view opened with `←`, Claude Code takes the permission mode from the first of these that applies:
from line 686
6866861. The target directory's [`permissions.defaultMode`](/docs/en/settings-reference#permissions-defaultmode). Two source rules apply:
687687 * `auto` and `bypassPermissions` [take effect only from managed settings, a `--settings` file, or `~/.claude/settings.json`](/docs/en/settings-reference#permissions-defaultmode).
688688 * Claude Code refuses a `defaultMode` from the project's `.claude/settings.json` or `.claude/settings.local.json` that selects a more permissive mode than the session you came from was in.
6892. The permission mode of the session you came from
6892. The permission mode of the session you came from. If that session was in `bypassPermissions` mode, the new session can start in Manual mode instead, with the notice `Bypass permissions was requested at launch and ignored`. That happens when your acceptance of the bypass disclaimer is only in `.claude/settings.local.json` or a `--settings` file. Continue in Manual mode, or [add that acceptance to `~/.claude/settings.json`](/docs/en/permission-modes#bypass-permissions-acceptance).

691691When Claude Code refuses a source's mode as too permissive, the next source in the list decides. For example, if you dispatch from a plan-mode session into a directory whose checked-in settings ask for `acceptEdits`, the new session starts in plan mode. If you move that `defaultMode` to `~/.claude/settings.json`, it applies regardless of the permission mode of the session you came from.
