3737Code sessions use Claude Code built into the desktop application and run on the user's workstation itself, not in the virtual machine. The shell commands Claude runs during a Code session execute on the workstation's own operating system under the user's own account.

39On macOS and Linux, those shell commands run inside an operating-system-level sandbox that the application builds from your organization's **Allowed network hosts** and **Allowed workspace folders** settings on the [Config](/docs/government/config/settings#allowed-network-hosts) page. The sandbox is in place whenever either setting restricts access, which the default configuration does. Inside the sandbox, a command can create or change files only in the session's folder, the other folders **Allowed workspace folders** permits, and temporary locations, but the sandbox does not limit which files the command reads: it can read any file on the device that the user's account can open, and by default it runs without asking the user first. A user can exempt specific commands from this sandbox in a Claude Code settings file, and an exempted command runs outside the sandbox under the permission mode the user selects for the session.

4141On Linux, the sandbox requires the `bubblewrap` and `socat` packages, so install both on each workstation as described under [Set up Linux and WSL2](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sandboxing#set-up-linux-and-wsl2) in the Claude Code documentation. If either package is missing, shell commands run outside the sandbox as they do on Windows.
