Claude Tag's settings live on claude.ai, split across a few pages that each own a different kind of setting. Which page you need depends on what you're changing. The table maps each surface to what it controls.

Channel memory and routines aren't in the table because you change them by talking to Claude in the channel; see [what anyone can change from the channel](/docs/claude-tag/admins/customize#change-behavior-from-the-channel).

## The Claude Tag admin page

Everything an Owner configures for channels lives at [`claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/claude-tag). Settings there apply per scope (a channel, a workspace, or the whole organization). A scope without its own setting inherits from its parent, and a channel's setting overrides its workspace's, so two channels can run with different connections, models, and instructions. Most controls are Owner-only; the [permissions table](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access#permissions-by-role) lists each action and who can take it.

* **Access bundles**: the connections, domain entries, repository grants, and plugins Claude uses in the channels a bundle covers. See [Give Claude access](/docs/claude-tag/admins/add-connections).
* **Custom instructions**: standing guidance Claude reads in every session on a scope. See [Add custom instructions](/docs/claude-tag/admins/attach-to-scope#add-custom-instructions).
* **Default model**: the model new sessions in a scope start on. The picker shows the models your organization allows for Claude Code, leaving out any that Claude Tag doesn't support, so it can be missing models you see in Claude Code itself. See [Choose the model for a scope](/docs/claude-tag/admins/customize#choose-the-model-for-a-scope).
* **Auto mode allow rules**: plain sentences that pre-approve actions Claude's permission checker would otherwise flag or stop in a scope's sessions. See [Auto mode allow rules](/docs/claude-tag/admins/customize#auto-mode-allow-rules).
* **Workspace pairing and restrictions**: which Slack workspaces are paired, whether DMs are allowed, guest-channel behavior, who can invoke Claude, and which generation of the app answers in each scope. See [Restrict where Claude Tag operates](/docs/claude-tag/admins/restrict-access).

## Spend limits and usage

Spend limits and usage analytics live at [`claude.ai/admin-settings/usage/claude-tag`](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/usage/claude-tag), a different page than the Claude Tag admin page. It holds the organization-wide spend limit, the default spend limit for channels, per-channel limits, and the per-channel spend breakdown. If your organization bills through a reseller, this page is not available. See [Set a spend limit](/docs/claude-tag/admins/set-spend-limit) for funding the usage balance and what users see when a limit is reached.

## The Configure page

Every Claude reply in Slack ends with a footer, and its **Configure** link opens a claude.ai page for that channel. Anyone in the channel who is also a member of your Claude organization can edit the **Channel instructions** field there, unless an admin has [restricted editing to admins](/docs/claude-tag/admins/attach-to-scope#restrict-who-can-set-channel-instructions). The page's **Respond automatically** toggle controls whether Claude replies in the channel without an @-mention; see [Turn automatic replies on or off](/docs/claude-tag/users/when-claude-responds#turn-automatic-replies-on-or-off). The page also shows the channel's **Connections**, which admins set, so members can see the list but not change it.

The Configure page and the **Custom instructions** field on the scope's panel in admin settings write the same instructions, so a change from either place is visible in the other. See [Configure Claude for a channel](/docs/claude-tag/users/good-habits#configure-claude-for-a-channel).

## Personal connectors on claude.ai

Connectors you add to your own claude.ai account, under **Customize > Connectors**, apply only in DMs with Claude, because [a DM runs on your own account](/docs/claude-tag/concepts/agent-identity#direct-message-channels). A channel uses only the connections an admin attached to it, and personal connectors never apply there. Slack has no connector settings of its own.

See [connectors on claude.ai](/docs/connectors/overview) for setting one up, and [the troubleshooting entry](/docs/claude-tag/users/troubleshooting#a-connector-works-on-claude-ai-but-not-in-slack) if a connector you use on claude.ai is missing in Slack.

## Claude Tag versus Claude Managed Agents

[Claude Managed Agents](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/overview) is a separate product for developers, a pre-built agent harness that runs in managed infrastructure. You configure it on the Claude Platform through the Managed Agents API, and access requires a Claude API key. An agent there is defined by its model, system prompt, tools, MCP servers, and skills. Environments choose where its sessions run (a cloud sandbox, or a self-hosted sandbox on your own infrastructure), and scheduled deployments run it on a cron schedule.

The two products don't share settings. Nothing on the Claude Tag admin page configures a Managed Agent, and an agent defined on the Claude Platform doesn't change how Claude behaves in Slack.
