What is My Organization?

My Organization is a new way of managing your cloud-enabled RealVNC Connect devices, allowing you to create an organized structure of devices that aligns with your organizational structure and arrange devices in a clear way.

Coming soon -  user permissions and roles for folders, providing much more granular and flexible access control for your device estate.

Accessing My Organization

To view and modify your organization, log in to the RealVNC Connect Portal and click Device Access on the left menu, followed by My Organization on the tabbed top menu.

On the My Organization screen you will see your Team (otherwise known as the root/parent team) at the top left, and your folders (otherwise known as child teams) spanning to the right. Each folder shows the number of devices it includes.

You can create up to a total 50 folders within your team, spanning a maximum of 10 nested levels.

Each folder can be assigned devices to organize them and, coming soon, you will be able to assign roles and permissions to users on specific folders providing much more granular and flexible access control.

Navigating My Organization

You can move around your organization by clicking and dragging, to pan the folders on display.

You can zoom in and zoom out, as well as zoom the structure to fit using the controls at the top right:

Adding a new folder

You must be a Manager, Admin or Owner of the team to add folders

To add a new folder of devices, click the Add a folder button at the top right of the My Organization screen:

You can also add a folder to a specific location in your organization using the 3 dots menu of an existing folder and clicking Create child folder:

A popup will appear, enter the name of the folder, where the folder should be added within your organization and the computers to be included, then click the Create the folder button.

Editing a folder

You must be a Manager, Admin or Owner of the team to edit folders

To edit a folder, click the 3 dots menu on the folder you want to edit, then click Edit folder.

A popup will appear, where you can change one or more of the folder's name, where the folder lives in your organization and any computers from the root/parent team to add to the folder.

Click the Save changes button when you are done.

You cannot edit the root/parent team. To change the name of the root Team, click Team Management on the left menu of the portal.

Removing a folder

Removing a folder removes all devices within it, as well as all of its subfolders and devices within the subfolders.

This cannot be undone and any removed devices will need to be re-joined to your team.

To remove a folder from your organization, click the 3 dots menu on the folder you want to remove and then click Remove folder.
