Members sign in to Claude Science with their Claude account, so your identity and billing controls apply automatically. Because the app stores conversations on each member’s computer rather than on Anthropic’s servers, most of the data-handling controls Anthropic provides don’t reach that data today. The tables show, for each admin setting, whether it governs Claude Science in beta. Status values describe Claude Science specifically; other Claude products may differ. Legend: Supported / Partial / Not available / Not applicable

Identity and access

Admin settingStatus in Claude Science betaNote
SSO (SAML / OIDC)SupportedSign-in goes through claude.ai, so your SSO policy applies automatically.
SCIM / Directory SyncSupportedDeprovisioning a member revokes their access.
Domain captureSupportedInherited from claude.ai account creation.
Members managementSupportedAdding or removing org members controls who can sign in.
Built-in rolesSupportedAll built-in roles get access once the product is enabled for the org.
Custom rolesSupportedCustom roles can grant or deny access to the app.
GroupsSupportedRoles assigned through groups carry through.
IP allowlistingPartialClaude inference is IP-gated. Gating remote compute (running code on the member’s own SSH hosts or cloud accounts) is on the roadmap. Custom connectors and local operation are outside this setting’s scope.
Session durationPartialLimits the browser sign-in step only; the app stays signed in after that.

Capability toggles

Admin settingStatus in Claude Science betaNote
Org enable toggleSupportedOff by default for Team and Enterprise; turn it on under Organization settings > Capabilities.
Completion feedback (thumbs)SupportedThe org toggle hides the feedback buttons, same as Chat.
Organization custom instructionsSupportedThe org’s custom instructions are applied to the app’s model calls, the same as Chat.
Skills allowlistPartialOrg-published skills appear, but members can also install local skills without restriction. Adding admin control is on the roadmap.
Web searchNot availableThe app offers web search regardless of this setting. Adding admin control is on the roadmap.
Code executionNot availableThis setting controls Chat’s hosted code sandbox only. Claude Science runs code locally regardless of this setting; that’s core to the product.
Code execution network allowlistNot availableThis setting controls Chat’s hosted code sandbox only. Claude Science’s local sandbox keeps its own allowlist, maintained by the member. Adding admin control is on the roadmap.
Location metadataNot applicableThe app doesn’t derive, store, or send any geolocation data.
MemoryNot applicableThe claude.ai Memory setting doesn’t control memory in Claude Science. The app keeps its own memory locally on the member’s device, and it’s off by default.
ProjectsNot applicableNo Projects integration; the app uses local workspaces instead.

Connectors

Admin settingStatus in Claude Science betaNote
Org-published Directory connectorsSupportedConnectors the admin publishes are available in the app.
Per-role connector restrictionsPartialEnforced for Directory connectors, not for connectors members add locally.
Org plugin allowlistPartialOrg-published plugins appear automatically; members can still add their own local skills and connectors. Adding admin control to restrict local skills and connectors is on the roadmap.
Connector tunnelsPartialDirectory connectors the admin publishes reach the app through tunnels. Local connectors the member adds run on their own computer, so tunnels don’t apply. Custom remote connectors the member adds don’t route through tunnels.
Custom connector restrictionsNot availableMembers can add their own custom connectors regardless of the organization allowlist. Adding admin control is on the roadmap.
Desktop Extension allowlistNot applicableDesktop Extension directory isn’t available in the app.

Data and privacy

Admin settingStatus in Claude Science betaNote
CMEKSupportedApplies to the product’s model traffic the same as Chat.
Data processing geographyPartialCovers Anthropic-hosted processing, not remote compute you configure (code the member runs on their own SSH hosts or cloud accounts) or the member’s computer (same as Claude Code).
HIPAAPartialHIPAA-ready organizations can enable the Claude Science beta, but usage isn’t covered under the BAA.
Custom Data RetentionNot availableThe auto-delete window doesn’t cover local data or the usage logs Anthropic keeps for this product.

Audit and compliance

Admin settingStatus in Claude Science betaNote
Audit logNot availableNo events recorded yet; on the roadmap.
Compliance APINot availableAdmins can’t export or delete this product’s data through the API.
Org data exportNot availableThe export doesn’t include data stored on members’ computers (same as Claude Code).

Usage, models, and billing

Admin settingStatus in Claude Science betaNote
Usage limitsSupportedUsage counts toward the same 5-hour and weekly limits as Claude Code and Cowork.
Billing and seatsSupportedUses the same seat as the rest of claude.ai.
Model access controlsSupportedUses the standard model API, so the org’s allowed-model list and model access grants apply to both the model picker and the calls themselves.
Usage analyticsSupportedSpend is filterable by product in Organization settings > Analytics.

Offboarding and local data

Admin settingStatus in Claude Science betaNote
Offboarding (local data)Not availableRemoving a member doesn’t wipe data already on their computer.
Local deletion signalNot availableDeleting local data doesn’t notify Anthropic to drop the matching server-side record early. This is on the roadmap.
