🧩 How Claude Organization Plugins Work

Team and Enterprise owners can distribute curated plugin marketplaces to everyone in the organization.

✅ Required vs Optional

Two modes:

🔒 Required: install automatically; members can't turn them off or remove them
🛒 Available to install: appear in the Discover tab for members to add

📤 Adding Plugins

Upload plugins as ZIP files, or sync them from private GitHub or GitLab repositories.

💡 Pro tip Sync from Git so plugin updates roll out automatically when your team updates the repo.

👥 Per-Group Access

Enterprise admins can set plugin access per group; when groups overlap, the most permissive setting wins.
