Configure TeamViewer for automatic user provisioning
Article
This article describes the steps you need to perform in both TeamViewer and Microsoft Entra ID to configure automatic user provisioning. When configured, Microsoft Entra ID automatically provisions and de-provisions users to TeamViewer using the Microsoft Entra provisioning service. For important details on what this service does, how it works, and frequently asked questions, see Automate user provisioning and deprovisioning to SaaS applications with Microsoft Entra ID.

Step 3: Add TeamViewer from the Microsoft Entra application gallery
Add TeamViewer from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to start managing provisioning to TeamViewer. If you have previously setup TeamViewer for SSO you can use the same application. However it is recommended that you create a separate app when testing out the integration initially. Learn more about adding an application from the gallery here.
Step 4: Define who will be in scope for provisioning
The Microsoft Entra provisioning service allows you to scope who will be provisioned based on assignment to the application and or based on attributes of the user. If you choose to scope who will be provisioned to your app based on assignment, you can use the following steps to assign users to the application. If you choose to scope who will be provisioned based solely on attributes of the user, you can use a scoping filter as described here.
Start small. Test with a small set of users before rolling out to everyone. When scope for provisioning is set to assigned users, you can control this by assigning one or two users to the app. When scope is set to all users, you can specify an attribute based scoping filter.
Step 5: Configure automatic user provisioning to TeamViewer
This section guides you through the steps to configure the Microsoft Entra provisioning service to create, update, and disable users in TestApp based on user assignments in Microsoft Entra ID.
To configure automatic user provisioning for TeamViewer in Microsoft Entra ID:
Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications
In the applications list, select TeamViewer.
Select the Provisioning tab.
Set the Provisioning Mode to Automatic.
Under the Admin Credentials section, enter https://webapi.teamviewer.com/scim/v2 in the Tenant URL field and enter the script token created earlier in the Secret Token. Click Test Connection to ensure Microsoft Entra ID can connect to TeamViewer. If the connection fails, ensure your TeamViewer account has Admin permissions and try again.
In the Notification Email field, enter the email address of a person or group who should receive the provisioning error notifications and select the Send an email notification when a failure occurs check box.
Select Save.
Under the Mappings section, select Synchronize Microsoft Entra users to TeamViewer.
Review the user attributes that are synchronized from Microsoft Entra ID to TeamViewer in the Attribute-Mapping section. The attributes selected as Matching properties are used to match the user accounts in TeamViewer for update operations. If you choose to change the matching target attribute, you will need to ensure that the TeamViewer API supports filtering users based on that attribute. Select the Save button to commit any changes.
Attribute
Type
userName
String
displayName

active
Boolean
To configure scoping filters, refer to the following instructions provided in the Scoping filter article.
To enable the Microsoft Entra provisioning service for TeamViewer, change the Provisioning Status to On in the Settings section.
Define the users that you would like to provision to TeamViewer by choosing the desired values in Scope in the Settings section.
When you are ready to provision, click Save.
This operation starts the initial synchronization cycle of all users defined in Scope in the Settings section. The initial cycle takes longer to perform than subsequent cycles, which occur approximately every 40 minutes as long as the Microsoft Entra provisioning service is running.
Step 6: Monitor your deployment
Once you've configured provisioning, use the following resources to monitor your deployment:
Use the provisioning logs to determine which users have been provisioned successfully or unsuccessfully
Check the progress bar to see the status of the provisioning cycle and how close it is to completion
If the provisioning configuration seems to be in an unhealthy state, the application will go into quarantine. Learn more about quarantine states here.
