Claude Science is in beta, and some admin controls you use with other Claude products don’t govern it yet. The setup wizard lists some of these when you enable the product; this page has the full detail. See Admin controls for the complete per-setting table.

​
Audit and compliance

Audit log: Claude Science doesn’t write events to the organization audit log. For Enterprise organizations with the Compliance API enabled, settings changes and read-only session transcripts are available through the Compliance API instead (Claude Science session coverage is in beta); see Compliance API coverage.
Org data export: the organization export doesn’t include data stored on members’ computers.

​
Data retention

Custom Data Retention: your auto-delete window applies to conversations, projects, and artifacts stored on Anthropic’s servers. Claude Science keeps conversations and artifacts on members’ computers, where the window doesn’t reach. For Enterprise organizations with the Compliance API enabled, the window does apply to the session transcripts it returns.
Local deletion signal: when a member deletes local Claude Science data, Anthropic isn’t notified, so the matching server-side records (the model-call log and, for Enterprise organizations with the Compliance API enabled, the session transcript) aren’t dropped early. Each expires under its own retention period.

​
Connector and domain allowlists

Your organization’s connector and domain allowlists apply to Directory connectors you publish, but don’t restrict connectors a member adds locally (running on their own computer or pointing at a custom URL). Adding admin control over local and custom connectors is on the roadmap. Skills allowlists work the same way: org-published skills are visible; there’s no admin control over which featured skills members can enable.

​
Session duration

Your session-duration setting limits the browser sign-in step only. After a member signs in, the app holds its own token and stays signed in beyond that window.

​
Offboarding

Removing a member from your organization revokes their ability to sign in, but doesn’t wipe Claude Science data already on their computer. Use your device management software to handle local data on offboarding.
