DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.51

Enterprise MDM Settings Support

What

Claude Code can now read enterprise-managed configuration policies from platform-native MDM (Mobile Device Management) sources, enabling IT administrators to enforce organizational settings.

Details
  • macOS: Reads managed preferences from /Library/Managed Preferences/com.anthropic.claudecode.plist (device-level and per-user)
  • Windows: Reads registry keys from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\ClaudeCode and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\ClaudeCode
  • Falls back to file-based managed settings (managed-settings.json) on other platforms
  • Polls for MDM settings changes every 30 minutes and applies updates live
  • Settings are parsed through the same Zod schema validation as regular settings
Evidence

Domain identifier "com.anthropic.claudecode", registry paths "HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\ClaudeCode", function pE1() reads platform-specific MDM sources (search for "com.anthropic.claudecode")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
