# this part is dangerous and not a good way to do this

# using sed to make edits to authdb is frowned upon
authdbTeamViewer=$(security authorizationdb read system.login.console 2>/dev/null | grep TeamViewerAuthPlugin)
if [[ "$authdbTeamViewer" != "" ]]; then
    security authorizationdb read system.login.console > /tmp/authdb-system.login.console.plist
    sed -i.bak "/<string>TeamViewerAuthPlugin:start<\/string>/d" /tmp/authdb-system.login.console.plist
    security authorizationdb write system.login.console < /tmp/authdb-system.login.console.plist

So the "Dangerous part doesnt work properly here is the snippit to make it work"

Tested and and it worked like a charm

authdbTeamViewer=$(security authorizationdb read system.login.console 2>/dev/null | grep TeamViewerAuthPlugin)
if [[ "$authdbTeamViewer" != "" ]]; then
security authorizationdb read system.login.console > /tmp/authdb-system.login.console.plist
sed -i.bak "/TeamViewerAuthPlugin:start</string>/d" /tmp/authdb-system.login.console.plist
security authorizationdb write system.login.console < /tmp/authdb-system.login.console.plist
fi`
