6363## Interaction with Claude Code's own managed settings
6464 
65Claude Code can also be configured directly by deploying a [`managed-settings.json` file](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#settings-files), an OS configuration profile for Claude Code, or, with the Claude API as the inference provider, [server-managed settings](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/server-managed-settings). If a Code session has any of these, Claude Code treats it as the administrator policy and, by default, **ignores** the policy values Claude Desktop supplies from the [Applied as managed policy](#applied-as-managed-policy) table. The [Always applied](#always-applied) keys are unaffected.

If a Code session has any of these, Claude Code treats it as the administrator policy. By default, Claude Code then **ignores** the [managed policy](#applied-as-managed-policy) values that Claude Desktop supplies, except in a Code session that gets [`code` settings from a Claude apps gateway](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-apps-gateway-config#apply-code-settings-in-the-code-tab). The [Always applied](#always-applied) keys are unaffected.

67In such a session, the gateway's `code` settings are the administrator policy, and `parentSettingsBehavior` defaults to `"merge"`. Set it in those `code` settings rather than rely on the default: `"merge"` to keep Claude Desktop's policy values, `"first-wins"` to drop them. To keep them, also set `"merge"` in the Claude Code managed settings on each device, because a session that starts without the gateway's `code` settings follows the device's settings instead.

6769To have Claude Desktop's restrictions apply on top of your Claude Code policy, set `parentSettingsBehavior` to `"merge"` in the Claude Code managed settings you deploy:

104* **Keep `parentSettingsBehavior`.** Without it, Claude Code ignores the sandbox and the other [managed policy](#applied-as-managed-policy) values that Claude Desktop supplies. In Cowork sessions, without it, Claude doesn't ask for approval before a tool call that matches an argument-scoped [`builtinToolPolicy`](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#builtintoolpolicy) rule such as `Read(//**/.env)` set to `"ask"`.

105107* **Leave out `disableSideloadFlags`**, which a longer sample in the Claude Code docs includes. With it, Code sessions start without the skills and organization plugins that Claude Desktop delivers.
106108* **Optionally, remove the `/plugin-authoring` command**, which has Claude write a mod. Add `"enabledPlugins": { "cc-plugin-plugin-authoring@builtin": false }` to the file.
