Anthropic launches smart reports beta for Claude Enterprise and takes Admin API user management out of beta

Anthropic shipped smart reports for Claude Enterprise on September 10, a beta feature that reads session transcripts and surfaces token spend by workstream. On August 19, the Admin API user-management endpoints for Claude Enterprise organizations moved out of beta, dropping a required header that integrations had carried since the July launch.

What

Smart reports are available in beta on Claude Enterprise plans, per Anthropic's platform release notes. The feature reads a sample of transcripts, groups work into workstreams, attaches spend to each group, and produces interactive charts with written findings. It covers Chat, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork activity over up to 28 days. Administrators can supply custom questions to guide the analysis.

Report sections include workstreams by sessions and spend, deliverables produced, cost per session by output type, task outcomes, common friction points, reusable skills worth packaging, and most expensive sessions. Beta is capped at 10 reports per organization per month. Four configurations are excluded: CMEK, HIPAA, Access Transparency, and zero-data-retention Claude Code.

Attribution to individual users defaults to off. When a report viewer reveals names, the action is logged. Per Anthropic's documentation, smart reports are not designed for individual performance evaluation or employment decisions.

The Admin API story is a separate, earlier change. User-management endpoints for Claude Enterprise organizations, covering members, invites, groups, and custom roles, entered beta on July 14 with the anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13 header required. That header is no longer required as of August 19. Requests that still send it continue to work unchanged. An Admin API key with the read:org_audit scope can call every user-management GET endpoint.

Why it matters

Smart reports give enterprise administrators a first-party path to answer "what is this being used for and what does it cost by workstream" without standing up custom infrastructure. Teams that have been exporting raw usage data and building their own dashboards now have an interactive alternative from Anthropic. The 28-day window and workstream grouping suit quarterly usage reviews, not just raw log analysis.

The Admin API graduation matters for any organization that built provisioning or de-provisioning flows with the beta header hard-coded. Those integrations can now drop the header and depend on a stable endpoint contract. The read:org_audit scope change also widens audit integrations: a service account scoped to audit permission can now pull the full member roster without a broader Admin API key.

The two updates together push Claude Enterprise toward the governance tooling that enterprise software buyers expect: programmatic control over who has access, plus visibility into what that access costs at a workstream level.

What to watch next

The 10-report-per-month cap will be the first signal of whether Anthropic plans to scale smart reports into a standard enterprise analytics product or keep it narrow. Whether CMEK and HIPAA configurations eventually gain access will determine how broadly the feature reaches regulated-industry customers.
