User groups and roles

Automate user life cycle management to save time and effort

User groups and roles enable IT organizations to ensure the right roles and permissions are assigned to the right end users and administrator groups, securely and efficiently. This allows large scale IT groups, departments, and organizations distributed across geographies and time zones to manage and support their distributed workforce easily.

Centrally manage the entire user life cycle and automate recurring tasks such as creating users for initial company onboarding, moving users to different groups as roles and permissions change, and deleting users for effective offboarding.

With built-in automated features and bulk editing capabilities, user groups and roles help eliminate repetitive, manual end user management tasks. This saves time and effort, especially for resource-constrained IT departments handling large-scale deployments on a daily basis.

Frequently asked questions

Administering users can be a time-consuming task for large IT organizations that have to manage users across several departments and locations. Moving users between departments or deactivating users when they leave the company further increases complexity and effort which is where user groups and roles come into play.

System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) allows company administrators to automate the process of creating, updating, and deleting user accounts across different platforms. Company administrators can provision TeamViewer Tensor effortlessly to existing user profiles in the SCIM system.

Company administrators can organize large sets of users into groups for easy administration. Easily move users between departments when they change roles within the organization. Change and apply settings in bulk, should certain departments need more permissions than others.

Manual administration of users is not available in the Management Console. The idea is to reduce time and effort managing users through existing SCIM-type systems.

There are currently three pre-defined user roles available in TeamViewer Tensor – company administrator, user administrator, and member.

Currently, all TeamViewer Tensor licenses (Basic, Pro, Unlimited) enable you to integrate identity providers and automate user lifecycle management within your organization.
