When enabled, it allows silent Microsoft 365 sign-in with the Windows account.\n\n- `inferenceCredentialKind` is now listed as read by Claude Code, as well as by the desktop app and Microsoft 365.\n\n- The description of the inference provider setting now says that a value set through device management still counts as set, even when it cannot be read.\n\n**Why**\n\nAdmins can now expect `inferenceCredentialKind` to apply to Claude Code too, not only to the other apps.\n\n- Area: Managed Settings\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: org\n- Heads-up: no"}
