Proper Offboarding

When an employee with AnyDesk access leaves, it’s important to follow the proper steps to safeguard your data and prevent unauthorized access. Here are some recommendations:

1. Remove the staff member’s client from the Clients tab in the my.anydesk.com customer portal. This will revoke their access to your Address Book if you have their AnyDesk-ID/Alias.
2. If the employee has knowledge of your my.anydesk.com customer portal password, reset the password in Settings > General > Change password.
3. Consider resetting your license key if the staff member has a saved copy of it.
4. For enhanced security, utilize the “Clear all tokens” feature in the security settings to force every connection to the specific AnyDesk client to retype the password.
5. Consider implementing a custom namespace and using the Access Control List to manage connection permissions effectively.
