What
Server-managed settings are settings an organisation sets centrally and Claude Code downloads from the server. A new claude_tag reason now marks sessions that do not use them. Claude Code's own message says: 'Claude in Slack and Claude in Teams sessions don't apply server-managed settings; organization policy limits are decided separately'.
- When Claude Code decides whether to fetch these settings, it now answers no with reason
claude_tagwhen three things hold: a surface check passes, a second check fails, and no stored claude.ai login is found. The login helper warns 'could not read the claude.ai login' when it cannot read the login. - The same
claude_tagcase was added to the list of reasons a session cannot use these settings and to the handling of login attempts, next tosandboxed_entrypoint.
Why
Organisation admins should know that sessions run by Claude in Slack or Claude in Teams will not apply server-managed settings. Organisation policy limits for those sessions are decided separately.
