9**Configuration.** Claude Enterprise uses a web-based admin console. Claude Desktop on 3P is configured via [MDM](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/mdm) (Jamf, Intune, Group Policy) or a [bootstrap server](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/bootstrap); organizations in the admin console beta can instead manage it from **Organization settings** on claude.ai.
9**Configuration.** Both are administered from the web-based [admin console](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/admin-console) in **Organization settings** on claude.ai. Claude Desktop on 3P can also be configured through [MDM](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/mdm) (Jamf, Intune, Group Policy) or a [bootstrap server](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/bootstrap).

1111**Telemetry.** Claude Desktop on 3P sends usage and debugging metrics only, and these can be fully disabled via managed configuration. Claude Enterprise does not offer telemetry toggles. See [Telemetry and egress](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/telemetry).

Deployments configured through MDM or a bootstrap server manage access through those channels.
