33On a Bash or PowerShell permission prompt, press `Ctrl+E` to show an explanation of the command: what it does, why Claude is running it, and what could go wrong, labeled **Low risk**, **Med risk**, or **High risk**. Claude Code sends the command and Claude's own description of the call to the model to generate the explanation only when you press `Ctrl+E`, not on every prompt. Showing the explanation doesn't run the command; press `Ctrl+E` again to hide it.

35To turn the shortcut off, set [`permissionExplainerEnabled`](/docs/en/settings-reference#permissionexplainerenabled) to `false` in `~/.claude.json`.

3935You can attach a note to Claude when you approve or deny a single action. On most permission prompts, including Bash, PowerShell, file, and MCP tool prompts, move to **Yes** or **No** and press `Tab` to open a comment field on that option. WebFetch and browser prompts don't offer the field. The options that allow the action for the rest of the session or save a rule don't take one either.

582For organizations that need centralized control, administrators deploy managed settings that user and project settings can't override, apart from a few [security-sensitive keys](/docs/en/settings#exceptions-to-managed-settings-precedence). [Deploy managed settings](/docs/en/managed-settings) covers the delivery mechanisms, precedence within the managed tier, and the [keys only managed settings can set](/docs/en/managed-settings#managed-only-settings), such as `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly`, which limits permission rules to the managed source.

580One of those keys, [`allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly`](/docs/en/settings-reference#allowmanagedpermissionrulesonly), makes managed settings the only settings source of permission rules. Its entry lists every source Claude Code then ignores.

584582`disableBypassPermissionsMode` is typically placed in managed settings to enforce organizational policy, but it works from any scope. A user can set it in their own settings to lock themselves out of bypass mode.
