188188Deploy the configuration before the app wherever you can. A user whose device already has the profile opens Claude Desktop for the first time and lands directly on the Claude for Government sign-in screen, with no opportunity to sign in to claude.ai by mistake.

191 Once `bootstrapUrl`, `disableDeploymentModeChooser`, or any other recognized key except the automatic update settings is present in the profile, the device is managed. The in-app configuration window becomes read-only, and locally authored settings, including a single-machine test configuration, are ignored in favor of the profile. A managed device uses only the connection in the profile: users cannot add, import, or switch to other configurations in that window. If a group of users needs a different connection, scope a different profile to their devices or users in your management system, or leave those devices without a profile and set them up as described under [Configure a single machine](#configure-a-single-machine). Removing the profile returns the device to local control.

A managed device uses only the connection in the profile: users cannot add, import, or switch to other configurations in that window. Users on a managed device can still turn on developer mode from the **Help** menu by choosing **Troubleshooting**, then **Enable Developer Mode**. The configuration window it reveals stays read-only, so they can view the connection there but not change it.
