151151### Permission modes with the HIPAA configuration
152152 
153In an organization with the [HIPAA configuration](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hipaa-setup.md) applied, the built-in `auto` default doesn't apply. A terminal or VS Code session starts in Manual mode when nothing else chooses its starting permission mode. A terminal session also shows `Auto mode isn't the default for your organization · Shift+Tab to switch`, and the VS Code extension shows no notice. [Check how developers sign in and connect](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hipaa-setup.md#check-how-developers-sign-in-and-connect) lists the sessions this applies to.
