If you are starting TeamViewer on your Mac running macOS 10.15 (Catalina) for the first time, you will be prompted with the following dialog:
By default, all permissions are set to Denied. Please give permission to the system capabilities manually to use TeamViewer as desired. If you or others need to access the Mac remotely, Screen Recording and Accessibility are required at a minimum.
TeamViewer Host is used for 24/7 access to remote computers, which makes it an ideal solution for uses such as remote monitoring, server maintenance, or connecting to a PC or Mac in the office or at home. Install TeamViewer Host on an unlimited number of computers and devices. As a licensed user, you have access to them all! Oct 22, 2019 Based on release notes though I also guess that if your user on Mac#1 is Jim and on Mac#2 you have Jim and Jane, to remotely from mac#1 to run script commands in Jane's account at Mac#2, you would need to do the trick explained on Mac#2. But as I do not use the feature and have it disabled on all Mac's, I cannot verify.
To allow the access, click the buttons shown in the dialog. Eg. click Open Full Disk Access Preferences... which will bring you to the Full Disk Access section of the Privacy pane, inside the Security & Privacy preferences:
Teamviewer Osx
For the Accessibility access you will need to click the padlock icon in the lower-left corner to make changes. You will be prompted to enter the credentials of an administrator account to continue.
Put a check next to TeamViewer to grant it access:
Repeat the same for Screen Recording and Accessibility if desired. Those are required to control your Mac.
Click again on the padlock in the lower-left corner to prevent further changes.
Now you can close the Security & Privacy window. The next time you want to receive an incoming connection with TeamViewer, the person connecting to your Mac will be able to see and control your screen.
The permission status can be reviewed under Help -> Check system access at any time.
