5656* **Claude for Teams**: self-service plan with collaboration features, admin tools, SSO, billing management, and [server-managed settings](/docs/en/server-managed-settings) for organization-wide Claude Code configuration. Best for smaller teams.
5757* **Claude for Enterprise**: adds domain capture, role-based permissions, and the compliance API. Best for larger organizations with security and compliance requirements.

106102#### Sign in without an API key
107103
108104You can sign in to your Console account without creating an API key, even when your organization doesn't let developers create them. Choose the Anthropic Console account at the `/login` prompt and Claude Code asks how you want to sign in. Requires Claude Code v2.1.242 or later. Both routes sign you in to Console in the browser and differ in what Claude Code stores afterwards:

149143### Restrict login to your organization
150144
151145To require that developers' claude.ai logins belong to a specific Anthropic organization, set [`forceLoginMethod`](/docs/en/settings-reference#forceloginmethod) and [`forceLoginOrgUUID`](/docs/en/settings-reference#forceloginorguuid) in [managed settings](/docs/en/managed-settings). Set `forceLoginOrgUUID` to your organization ID, shown in [claude.ai admin settings](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/organization) for Claude for Teams or Enterprise organizations. Claude Code reports an error for a claude.ai login to any other organization and exits at startup if the claude.ai credential in use belongs to an organization that isn't listed.

280274The command opens the same browser authorization flow as `/login`, and the token prints to the terminal after you approve access in the browser. It does not save the token anywhere; copy it and set it as the `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` environment variable wherever you want to authenticate:

302294This token authenticates with your Claude subscription and requires a Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan. It can only make model requests, so it can't establish [Remote Control](/docs/en/remote-control) sessions or fetch [claude.ai connectors](/docs/en/mcp#use-mcp-servers-from-claude-ai). MCP servers you configure locally still work.
