8181Permission modes control how much autonomy Claude has during a session: whether it asks before editing files, running commands, or both. You can switch permission modes at any time using the mode selector in the row under the prompt box. To approve each change yourself, switch to Manual.

83To set a default mode for new local sessions, add `permissions.defaultMode` to your [settings file](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings.md#where-settings-live). The desktop app reads the same settings files as the CLI. A mode you pick in the selector is remembered per folder and takes precedence over `defaultMode` for that folder, except Plan, which applies to the current session only.
83To set a default permission mode for new local sessions, add `permissions.defaultMode` to your [settings file](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings.md#where-settings-live). A mode you pick in a local session is remembered per folder and outranks a `defaultMode` in the project's `.claude/` settings. A new local session can still start in a `defaultMode` from `~/.claude/settings.json` or managed settings, so check the selector before your first message. If you pick Plan, it applies to this session only.
