648648#### Precedence with other managed sources
649649
650If a device also has a local `managed-settings.json` or MDM-delivered policy, the managed sources don't merge, with two per-key exceptions while no [policy helper](/docs/en/settings#compute-managed-settings-with-a-policy-helper) is supplying managed settings, since a helper's output replaces the managed sources entirely:

652652* The `env` block, in Claude Code v2.1.223 or later
653653* The [cross-source lock keys](/docs/en/settings#precedence-within-the-managed-tier)
from line 654

655655Both are covered in the list later in this section. The highest-priority source provides all policy settings, ranked in this order with highest priority first:
656656
6571. The [policy helper](/docs/en/settings#compute-managed-settings-with-a-policy-helper)
6582. Gateway-delivered settings
6593. MDM, via the HKLM registry on Windows or a plist on macOS
6604. The `managed-settings.json` file
6615. The HKCU registry, on Windows only
6571. Gateway-delivered settings
6582. MDM, via the HKLM registry on Windows or a plist on macOS
6593. The `managed-settings.json` file
6604. The HKCU registry, on Windows only

662When an MDM or file-based source wins and configures a [`policyHelper`](/docs/en/settings#compute-managed-settings-with-a-policy-helper), the helper's output replaces that source and neither per-key exception applies. A `policyHelper` in those sources doesn't run while the gateway delivers a non-empty configuration.

663664Embedding hosts such as [Claude Desktop](/docs/en/desktop) can supply policy through the SDK `managedSettings` option. Whether it applies depends on the machine's managed configuration:
664665
665666* On machines with an admin-deployed managed source, it is ignored unless the highest-priority source opts in with [`parentSettingsBehavior: "merge"`](/docs/en/settings#available-settings).
666* It is never merged while a [`policyHelper`](/docs/en/settings#compute-managed-settings-with-a-policy-helper) is configured.
667* It is never merged when an MDM or file-based source wins and configures a [`policyHelper`](/docs/en/settings#compute-managed-settings-with-a-policy-helper).
667668* When merged, it passes through a restrictive-only allowlist. [Restrict parent settings](/docs/en/claude-apps-gateway#restrict-parent-settings) lists which allow-direction settings still apply without the `allowManaged*Only` locks.
668669
669The following keys are honored when any admin source above the user-writable HKCU tier sets them, regardless of which source provides the rest of the policy. When a [`policyHelper`](/docs/en/settings#compute-managed-settings-with-a-policy-helper) is configured, its output is the only source these checks read:

672673* [`allowAllClaudeAiMcps`](/docs/en/settings#available-settings): allow-only override for the claude.ai MCP server allowlist
