How do I see which permissions are currently active?

You can use the /permissions command within the Claude Code interface to view all active rules and identify which settings file they originate from.

Is it possible to block all network requests?

Yes, you can use the 'deny' pattern for 'WebFetch' or use the /sandbox command to enforce network isolation.

Can I set different permissions for specific projects?

Yes, Claude Code supports project-specific configurations via a .claude/settings.json file located in your project root, which overrides global user settings.

What is the priority order for Claude Code permission rules?

Rules follow a strict precedence: Deny (highest), then Ask, then Allow (lowest). If a command matches a deny pattern, it is blocked regardless of other rules.

What does 'acceptEdits' mode do?

The 'acceptEdits' mode automatically accepts file modifications made by Claude, which is useful for trusted editing sessions where you want to skip individual confirmation prompts.
