With SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management), it is possible to synchronize users and Microsoft Entra Groups from Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) to TeamViewer.
📌Note: This requires a Microsoft Entra Premium license subscription.
It allows administrators to create, update and deactivate users within Microsoft Entra ID and keep their TeamViewer accounts automatically updated within 1h (the current Microsoft Entra update interval).
This article applies to TeamViewer customers with an Enterprise/Tensor license.
Prerequisite
To be able to use this feature, you must meet the following requirements:
- Have a valid Tensor license for TeamViewer
- Have an Microsoft Entra Premium license subscription
- Follow the manual below to set up SCIM
- It is recommended to combine the SCIM Sync with the Single Sign-On Microsoft Entra Setup
