TeamViewer Community requesting Account Management

jijijbsfobjssd

Why is Account Management required for posting in this community? I get message when logging into teamviewer community "Teamviewer community is requesting the following permissions": Account Management

This seems unsafe to me, can someone please elaborate on why this is required?

Hi @jijijbsfobjssd ,

Thankyou for posting.

As TeamViewer Community is working based on Lithium, once you have created an account on TeamViewer community with your TeamViewer account credentials, it will automaticaly sync the account information for both TeamViewer Management Console and TeamViewer Community (Lithium). And that is the reason why the prompt of grant access pop out when you sign in to TeamViewer Community.

The display of Apps under TeamViewer account profile shows that you currently allow TeamViewer Management Console to communicate to TeamViewer Community. You are able to revoke access on TeamViewer Management Console. It will not affected the uses for TeamViewer Management Console and TeamViewer Community, but a confirmation will pop up every time when you use TeamViewer account to login to eamViewer Community.

Hope it explains.
