Remove Assignment Prompt when installing Host via Mass Deployment

Currently, when Host config is set to use Managed Groups, you will receive a prompt when running the Mass Deployment command line to install a Host client.

As a large organization trying to deploy this to ~1000 devices via SCCM we need this to not prompt. This prevents Host deployment to unattended devices, requires a firmwide

communication for something that in the past we've done behind the scenes and adds in a point of failure for those users that always click the wrong thing.

I understand the security concerns but this currently makes the Managed Groups feature completely unusable. We would love to be using the Managed groups as it adds more granular control with who can access what, but we cannot with the prompt.

    Hi @AntonDobschensky,

    Thank you for asking this here. I allowed myself to merge both of your posts.

    The reason why a prompt is showing after the installation is that the parameter Use Managed Group assignment of your Host is enabled.

    To solve your issue, you need to disable this parameter like in this video:

    You can also follow these steps:

    1. Sign in to https://login.teamviewer.com/.
    2. Go to Design & Deploy.
    3. Edit your custom Host.
    4. Untick the Use Managed Group assignment parameter and save.
    5. Redeploy your custom Host on your devices.

    You will see that no prompt will show to confirm the group assignment.

    For your deployment, I recommend following our user guide here:

    Let me know if this has worked for you!

    Will a new version address the problem that you cannot use Use Managed Group assignment when mass deploying Host versions due to the prompt asking if its ok to assign to the group? It makes the new Managed Group feature completely unusable when deploying this to unattended machines or without firmwide communication and instructions.
