4747| **Source** | The bootstrap keys, if you are using the [bootstrap server](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/bootstrap) delivery model instead of a full MDM profile<br />Bootstrap-delivered configuration takes priority over MDM-delivered values: it replaces them wholesale rather than merging key by key |

50 When a managed (MDM-delivered) configuration is already present on the device, the configuration window opens read-only: it shows what the admin deployed, marks the configuration as organization-managed, and directs users to their IT administrator. To author a new configuration, use a device without a managed profile, or temporarily remove the profile. Profiles that set [only the update keys](#update-keys-and-managed-precedence) leave the window editable.

132When a managed source sets any key other than the update keys, the managed configuration owns the device: it takes effect, the in-app configuration window becomes read-only, and locally authored values in `configLibrary/` are ignored.

134134### Update keys and managed precedence

136136The update keys `disableAutoUpdates`, `autoUpdaterEnforcementHours`, and `updateViaUpdatesHost` are treated specially, so you can set an update policy from MDM without managing the whole configuration. When a managed source sets only these keys (any of them), the device keeps its locally authored configuration and the configuration window stays editable. The update keys themselves are still enforced as a group: all of them are resolved from the managed source alone, so a locally set value for any of them is ignored even if the profile sets only one.

138The network proxy keys `egressProxyUrl` and `egressProxyPacUrl` belong to the same group and follow the same rule. See [Network proxy](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/network-proxy#pin-a-proxy-from-managed-configuration).

138140If the managed profile sets any other recognized key, the normal rule above applies and the whole configuration is managed.
