Hi @Big-Bambino53

I think, the TeamViewer Integration "User Management" will help you.

Hi @crozzle

Thanks for the hint.

I updated the link in my previous post and it works again:

Hey,

What is the best way to export devices list from one user to another ?
Thank you so much :-)

Hi there,

I have a little problem.
We recently acquired a company that uses an old team viewer (8).
There are 100+ devices in this team viewer.

We also use a team viewer ourselves but use a new license (Coporate)

How can I transfer the devices from the old environment to our new environment?

Hendri

User Management API? PowerShell? Seriously? Really? In software that costs so much money? Instead of adding some nonsensical functions maybe you could finally add this functionality?

Or maybe you have already done it and it can be easily done?

Hello everyone,

I have followed the link [ Integrations - User Management ] which was indicated a few years ago (2017 and 2018) by Esther and I agree with PeKa:

https://community.teamviewer.com/English/discussion/comment/89410#Comment_89410

It absolutely does NOT answer the question

For my part, I need to import 225 users which all 4 of our technicians will be asked to help in the future.

The question is simple: IS THERE A SIMPLE WAY TO IMPORT INFORMATION FROM A .txt or .csv FILE INTO TEAM VIEWER ?

It's a simple «yes» or «no» question

Hi!

I have read the above thread, and have the excact same issue.

Any news regarding implementing Import / export of contacts/computers ?

Should really not be so hard to ad this feature to Teamviewer, and it would be a great help to users !!!

After a few weeks of trying to get the import to work, finally had a win, all 200 devices imported into Teamviewer successfully

format your CSV file as below

Device Name	TeamViewer ID	Group ID
Laptop01	xxxxxxxxxx	gxxxxxxxxx

Create your API with the below permissions

Group management

Read groups

Computers & Contacts

View entries, add entries, edit entries, remove entries

Powershell :-

Define API token and TeamViewer API URL

$apiToken = "INSERT_TOKEN_HERE"
$teamViewerApiUrl = "https://webapi.teamviewer.com/api/v1/devices"

Import devices from CSV

$devices = Import-Csv "C:\tmp\teamviewerDevices.csv"

Loop through each device in the CSV

foreach ($device in $devices) {
$deviceName = $device.'Device Name'
$teamViewerID = $device.'TeamViewer ID'

# Add the 'r-' prefix to the TeamViewer ID
$formattedTeamViewerID = "r-$teamViewerID"

$groupID = $device.'Group ID'

# Create the request body as JSON
$body = @{
    alias = $deviceName
    remotecontrol_id = $formattedTeamViewerID
    groupid = $groupID
} | ConvertTo-Json

# Define headers with API token for authorization
$headers = @{
    "Authorization" = "Bearer $apiToken"
    "Content-Type" = "application/json"
}

# Make the API call to add the device
try {
    $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $teamViewerApiUrl -Headers $headers -Body $body
    Write-Host "Device $deviceName added successfully."
} catch {
    Write-Host "Failed to add device $deviceName. Error: $_"
}

}
