For your deployment, you will need to create a customized version of TeamViewer (=custom module).
You can do this directly from the Management Console under Design & Deploy.
By creating your custom module, you will get two essential values:
- the CUSTOMID will trigger the module's customization.
- the APITOKEN will trigger the account assignment.
💡 Hint: Keep both values safe. We will be using them in the following article.
Recommended Setup
🚨 Important note: Before creating a module, please make sure you have created a Master TeamViewer account. We recommend creating modules exclusively from a Master account.
Background information: Custom modules are bound to one owner. This owner is defined by the account that created the module.
Example: User A creates Custom Module 1.
- Once User A leaves the company, no one can manage
Custom Module 1, as the account of User A is disabled and not accessible to others.
This is why we recommend using a Master Account that is not bound to a specific person.
For more information about the use of a Master account, please check the following article:
