Claude Code v2.1.175 Release Notes
Claude Code v2.1.175 introduces the enforceAvailableModels managed setting for enhanced model access control and security in enterprise environments.
The Claude Code development team has released version 2.1.175, bringing important improvements to model management and security controls. This update focuses on providing administrators with more granular control over which AI models users can access within their organizations.
What’s New
Enhanced Model Access Control with enforceAvailableModels
The headline feature of this release is the new enforceAvailableModels managed setting. When enabled, this setting provides administrators with comprehensive control over model availability:
-
Default Model Constraints: The
availableModelsallowlist now constrains the Default model selection. If a Default model would resolve to a disallowed model, the system automatically falls back to the first allowed model in the list. -
Strict Permission Enforcement: User or project settings can no longer override or widen a managed
availableModelslist, ensuring that organizational policies are consistently enforced across all levels.
This feature is particularly valuable for enterprise environments where compliance, cost control, or security requirements mandate specific model usage policies. Administrators can now set organization-wide model restrictions without worrying about users circumventing these controls through local settings.
