Unclear It is not stated when settings passed with --managed-settings are kept out of the policy level.
What
Claude Code combines settings from several levels. The policy level holds settings an organization enforces. Settings passed with the --managed-settings flag can now be kept out of that level in some cases. When the reason for keeping them out changes, Claude Code logs a warning that begins '--managed-settings left out of the policy tier:'.
Why
If your organization passes settings with --managed-settings, check for this warning. It means those settings were not applied at the policy level.
