  The registration token is a very sensible piece of information and needs to be protected against the access of unauthorised persons. We recommend to keep the channel you use, for transmitting the token to the desktop computers, as safe as possible. The file should be also saved with the most restrictive permissions.
--Do not use your organisation's registration token to sign in desktop users. One-time registration tokens for each individual user can be used in parallel, and are much safer since the Windows Registry and configuration files can be examined by users. Therefore the user may abuse the organisation's token and sign in any Teamwire user account. For details about the one-time registration token, please refer to the section about [[User operations>>doc:Customer.Administration.Dashboard-User-Manual.Users.WebHome||anchor="users-useroperations"]] in the [[Dashboard manual>>doc:Customer.Administration.Dashboard-User-Manual.WebHome]].
