Active connections

Last Modified: Sep 9, 2026

The Active connections feature gives administrators and authorized users real-time visibility into remote connections across their organization. This helps teams monitor ongoing remote activity, respond faster to potential security concerns, and improve auditing capabilities. When enabled, users with the required permissions can view all active connections involving company members. An audit log event is also created whenever a company administrator enables or disables the feature.

This article applies to all TeamViewer Tensor and TeamViewer ONE (Standard, Advanced, or Enterprise) license holders.

Requirements

To use Active connections:

  • Your company must have the Active connections feature enabled by a company administrator

  • The user must have the View active connections permission assigned

     

Note: Currently, the scope only includes device-to-device connections initiated by a logged-in user.

Key benefits

  • Real-time visibility into active connections involving company members
  • Faster identification and response to potential security concerns
  • Enhanced auditing and support capabilities
  • Improved oversight of ongoing remote activity across the company
  • Immediate termination of unwanted or unauthorized connections to reduce potential security and operational risks

  3. Open the role you want to edit.
  4. Under Permissions (General), enable View active connections.
