[Question] Difference between Get-TeamViewerManagedDevice and Get-TeamViewerCompanyManagedDevice

[websafe]

Summary

What is the difference between the results of Get-TeamViewerCompanyManagedDevice and Get-TeamViewerManagedDevice? In my case, one returns 730 entries and the other returns 723.

Where can I find an explanation of what 'Company Managed' and 'Managed' devices are?

Hello there! We are sorry for the late response.

Most TeamViewer PS Cmdlets use an endpoint from our public API to carry out their task. The two you mentioned above are no different. You can find more information on what they do by looking for their respective endpoints here:
https://webapi.teamviewer.com/api/v1/docs/index#/Managed%20Devices

In your case, one endpoint only fetches the devices on which your account is a (direct) manager, meaning one of the managers of the device is your own account. The other endpoint fetches all devices managed by the company, namely one of the managers of the device is the company itself.

You can end up with two different counts for these endpoints in the following scenario: you and a friend of yours (two different TeamViewer accounts) are in the same company. You manage one device, and your friend manages another device, each one using their own account. Then, only one device will be returned by Get-TeamViewerManagedDevice (the one that you managed), but two devices will be returned by Get-TeamViewerCompanyManagedDevice, since both devices are managed by the company (by default, all devices who are managed by an account in a company, are also managed by the company itself).

Hopefully this answers your question. I will close this issue, but feel free to re-open if this is still unclear for you.
