How do I configure Claude Code settings for permissions and hooks?

To configure Claude Code settings, you define permissions, hooks, sandbox, and environment variables in settings.json across local, project, and enterprise scopes. This ensures secure, predictable behavior and reduces configuration errors.

What are the precedence rules for Claude Code settings.json?

Claude Code settings precedence rules resolve conflicts across local, project, and enterprise scopes. Applying structured, policy-aware hierarchies ensures that team collaboration and enterprise policy enforcement override local configurations correctly.

Can I share Claude Code environment configuration with my team?
