User Roles define the specific roles Company Administrators can create. User Roles prescribe what TeamViewer (Classic)-related services the user is permitted to view, edit and control. A user can have multiple roles assigned. The permissions that apply to a user are the sum of all permissions from all assigned roles.

User Roles improve your productivity and security by:

  • providing an overview of your user's setup
  • making user permission provisioning easier and reducing the error probability
  • reducing the threat that users have access to functionality they shouldn't have access to

Therefore, we highly recommend creating customized User Roles for your Company Profile.

📌Note: You can create up to 100 user roles.

This article applies to Company Administrators with the permission to Manage administrators and company settings.
