[DOCS] Missing `isClaudeCodeForDesktopEnabled` field in Settings configuration schema
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
Section/Topic
The Available settings table in the main Settings documentation.
Current Documentation
The Claude Code on desktop documentation states:
"Organizations can disable local Claude Code use in the desktop application with the isClaudeCodeForDesktopEnabled enterprise policy option."
However, the Available settings table at code.claude.com/docs/en/settings does not list this key.
What's Wrong or Missing?
The comprehensive list of configuration keys in the master Settings reference is missing the isClaudeCodeForDesktopEnabled field. While it is mentioned contextually in the Desktop guide, it is absent from the technical schema reference that administrators use to build managed-settings.json files.
Suggested Improvement
Add the following row to the Available settings table at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#available-settings:
| Key | Description | Example |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| isClaudeCodeForDesktopEnabled | (Managed settings only) Controls whether users can run local Claude Code sessions within the Claude desktop application. | false |
Impact
High - Prevents users from using a feature
Additional Context
- Related Documentation: See the "Enterprise configuration" section at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop#enterprise-configuration.
- Reasoning: To ensure enterprise administrators have a single source of truth for all valid keys available in
managed-settings.json.
