This chapter applies to TeamViewer clients that have a TeamViewer Tensor license with the Conditional Access Add-on.
Description
With Conditional Access, you can control the TeamViewer usage and access rights throughout your organization using a rules engine you configure within the Management Console. This conditional access provides an additional layer of security for your corporate network.
Strong security
⚠Conditional Access is a security feature; therefore, no connection is allowed initially as soon as the rule verification is activated!
With TeamViewer Tensor Conditional Access, enterprise IT and security managers can maintain company-wide oversight of TeamViewer access and usage from a single location.
- Centralized rules management within the Management Console
- Assign permissions for remote sessions, file transfer, and meeting connections
- Configure rules at the account, group, or device level
- Cloud-based solution that provides greater flexibility than an on-premise approach
- Dedicated infrastructure is managed and serviced by TeamViewer
- Supports Windows and macOS
Overall, you gain full control over remote connections within your corporate environment. This TeamViewer Tensor functionality helps you tighten up your security by allowing access and connections to only authorized users or devices, consequently preventing data leaks and risky behavior and minimizing risks.

Preapproved access
Preapproved access is a feature that allows designated users to request and gain access to your device environments for a specified time frame without the need for real-time authorization. Read more here:
Restrict or allow access for a specific time slot
With Conditional Access, you can also restrict or allow access for a specific time slot. This can be useful when internal or external support providers are only allowed to connect during a specific time slot. Read more here:
Bring your own certificate
TeamViewer uses certificates to authenticate the identity of participants, which are issued by the TeamViewer Conditional Access feature. This feature allows users to use their own certificates to authenticate their devices. TeamViewer installations can require custom certificate authentication for incoming, outgoing, or both connections, which restricts connections to a specific set of devices.
