The solution provides policy-based allow/deny decisions on every tool call, role-based access controls (e.g., engineers get Bash access, marketing gets read-only), full audit logging, and policies-as-code with versioning. It integrates with Cerbos Hub for centralized policy authoring, testing, and automatic distribution without redeployments. ## Content Claude Code is spreading beyond engineering. Marketing teams are exploring codebases. Product managers are reading configs. Data analysts are grepping logs. But here is the problem: there is no central way to control what those Claude Code agents can do. Hooks are local config, per developer, opt-in. No enforcement. No audit trail. 🎉 Today, we are introducing centralized authorization for Claude Code agents. Every tool call hits a policy check before it executes. Push the config once via server-managed settings that developers cannot override: ✔ Allow or deny decisions on every tool call, not just monitoring ✔ Role-based controls: engineers get Bash, marketing gets read-only ✔ Full audit log tied to the developer who triggered each action ✔ Policies as code, versioned, reviewed, and distributed automatically ✔ Available as part of Cerbos Hub, which gives you centralized policy authoring, testing, and versioning, and automatic policy distribution without redeployments → Learn more: [https://www.cerbos.dev/ecosystem/claude-code](https://www.cerbos.dev/ecosystem/claude-code) --- [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/do-you-know-what-your-claude-code-agents-are-allowed-to-do--0iyu5wpsc) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/do-you-know-what-your-claude-code-agents-are-allowed-to-do--0iyu5wpsc","headline":"Do you know what your Claude Code agents are allowed to do?","text":"Cerbos is launching centralized authorization controls for Claude Code agents, addressing the lack of enforcement and audit trails when non-engineers use Claude Code.
