3838When a managed profile is already present on the device, the window opens in read-only mode and shows the deployed values. Its **Export** menu offers **JSON config (redacted)**, a file to [import into the Enterprise Admin Console](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/admin-console.md#start-from-an-existing-configuration-file). This option requires Claude Desktop 4.23118.0 or later. Author new configurations from a device without a managed profile.

42Export **JSON config** and send the file to the user. In the [configuration window](#open-the-configuration-window) on their device, the user opens the configuration picker at the top right, chooses **Import configuration…**, selects the file, clicks **Apply Changes**, and then clicks **Relaunch now**. The exported file holds your API key in plain text, so handle it as you handle the key.

44> [!WARNING]
45>
46> Don't set up another device or user account by copying files from the `configLibrary/` directory, for example in a setup script, a disk image, or a profile template. Where the app can use the device's secure storage, the API key in those files is encrypted for the OS user account that saved it. On another device or account, the app then shows the banner **Claude can’t read your saved key** and starts no sessions until the user enters the key and restarts the app. Before Claude Desktop 4.4212.0, the files held the key unencrypted. See [Unreadable saved API keys](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/data-storage.md#unreadable-saved-api-keys).
