Full Disk Access Mac Teamviewer

With the release of macOS 10.14 (Mojave), Apple introduced new security requirements for all remote support solutions, including our Take Control N-ables and TeamViewer engines. Enabling the Accessibility and Full Disk Access settings allows you to take control of the remote device and interact with its files, otherwise, you can only observe when connected. These security settings were expanded on by Apple with the release of macOS 10.15 (Catalina) which introduced a Screen Recording permission. After configuring the Privacy settings, the computer then becomes controllable and accessible using the selected remote control solutions.

Only an admin rights level user on the remote computer can configure these Privacy & Security settings. They are not available for remote set up.

Apple updates its security posture with each new version of macOS. To take advantage of these improvements previously authorized settings are reset during the update process, for example when going from 10.14 to 10.15. In this scenario the end-user may have to re-authorize these settings after the operating update. In some cases, the computer requires a reboot for these settings to take effect.

When making changes to Security & Privacy settings in macOS 10.15 the user may be prompted to quit Take Control now or later for these changes to take effect.

These prompts only display once per app during the first connection attempt, even if the app is uninstalled then reinstalled.
