When this field is set to true, Claude Code's effort-level resolution uses the organization's `default_effort_level` instead of a user's own saved per-model effort setting.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis gives organizations a way to standardize reasoning effort across their users, overriding individual preferences when the admin wants consistent behavior or cost control.\n\n- Area: Model Settings\n- Names: `org_model_default.override_user_effort`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
