User password reset

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

i've got a user who didn't create a user under her works email account, however it shows as in use, but when we try to login and force a password reset it comes up saying we have insufficent permissions to change the password. Is there a way to reset this password? or delete it and recreate the account again under our domain?

For anyone who has Googled this error (like me), make sure the user is allowed to modify his account. This can be found in user management -> [user] -> Permissions -> General:

Hello @Finchi,

Congrats on your first post! ✨

Correct - to enforce the password reset, you first need to add the account to your company profile: Add an existing account.

Once this is done, you will be able to reset the user's password.

Hi Jean,

Thank-you, and thanks for your message back. We've attempted to add the user in using the "Add an existing account" however you need the users email/password combo to accept them in; and when you try to do the reset password link that's when we get the error message "Request denied because you don't have sufficient permissions. Please contact your company's administrator for further assistance"

@Finchi could you ask the user to reset the password via https://login.teamviewer.com/LogOn#lost-password?

Then, you will be able to join your company profile.

Thank you @JeanK however, I'm still getting the same permissions error when trying through that link...

I click the link, type in her email, tick that i'm not a robot and then click change password and straight away the message comes up "

Request denied because you don't have sufficient permissions. Please contact your company's administrator for further assistance"

It's like her account is linked to another company account, but she's unaware of what company this would be as she's not aware of ever signing up to TV during her time here...

Hello @Finchi,

I think the issue is that YOU are trying to reset the password.

In the first step, SHE needs to reset the password herself by using the link https://login.teamviewer.com/LogOn#lost-password.

Then, when she is able to log in successfully, you can try to add her to your company profile by following the instructions of this article: Add an existing account

Another thing you might also check is if the user did validate their account. Once you create a TeamViewer account, you receive an e-mail that is asking you to validate the account. If this is not done, it may also cause user management permission issues.

Let me know if this worked out.

Hi @JeanK

Sorry for the long delay, lots of various leave time between the team... but basically we've just done the password reset on her device, using her email it's still coming up that she's got insufficient permissions to reset.

Hi @Finchi,

No problem at all - I can only think of the account being connected to another company profile, then.

The best option here would be to call our customer support to get a representative to look into your case.
