85> | Sessions and scheduled tasks | Sessions are local, except [Code sessions over SSH](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/ssh-remote-sessions.md), and the device must be awake to run long processes and scheduled tasks. |
86> | Memory | [Memory](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/data-storage.md#memory) in Claude Desktop on 3P is stored on the device, not on Anthropic infrastructure. Chat-history search and nightly summary generation are not available in Chat on 3P. |
87> | Web search | Amazon Bedrock deployments and gateways that do not forward Anthropic server tools need a [web search provider](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/web-tools.md#web-search-options) configured first. |
88> | Claude in Chrome | Claude in Chrome works with Claude Desktop on 3P only in organizations managed from the [Enterprise Admin Console](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/admin-console.md). |

90> | User management via UI and RBAC | With the [Enterprise Admin Console](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/admin-console.md), administrators add users and groups, connect single sign-on and SCIM, assign administrator roles, and set per-group permission policies from **Organization settings** on claude.ai. Deployments configured through MDM or a bootstrap server manage access through those channels. |
91> | Monitoring | Many capabilities of the Compliance API and Analytics API can be achieved via [OpenTelemetry export](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/telemetry.md#sending-telemetry-to-your-own-collector) to your own collector. |
92> | Telemetry | Claude Desktop on 3P sends [crash reports and product analytics](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/telemetry.md#telemetry-categories) to Anthropic by default. This telemetry contains no prompt or response content, and you can fully disable it via managed configuration. |
93> | Data handling | [Data handling](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/overview.md#data-handling-by-provider) at the inference endpoint depends on the provider you configure. For Google Cloud's Agent Platform and Amazon Bedrock, data handling is governed by Google Cloud and Amazon Bedrock respectively. For Microsoft Foundry, Anthropic operates the Claude models and handles conversation data as an independent processor for Microsoft. For the Anthropic API, Anthropic processes conversation data under your Anthropic agreement, as described on the [Claude API](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/claude-api.md) page. |
