Possibility to create custom user roles

Post by branded-cloud »

Will it be possible in a future release to create custom user roles?

Currently these roles are availaible:

Veeam Restore Operator - Can perform restore operations using existing backups and replicas.
Veeam Backup Viewer - Has the "read-only" access to Veeam Backup & Replication. Can view existing jobs and review the job session details.
Veeam Backup Operator - Can start and stop existing jobs.
Veeam Backup Administrator -Can perform all administrative activities in Veeam Backup & Replication.

Would be nice (we need this) to be able to create a role that grants the user access to do restore operations and schedule backups but not being able to make any other changes to the VEEAM setup (like for instance browse the storage array or remove proxies or repositories)

That way a user can plan jobs and restore but bot mess up anything else.

Hello branded-cloud.

Have you tried to create a user and assign Backup Operator together with Restore operator role to this user.

Yes we tried this but the problem is that you cannot create jobs only start and stop existing jobs.

We haven't thought of implementing this approach, but thank you for the feedback, anyway.

Well it was not really feedback but more a feature request, and I guess we are not the only once wanting to be able to offer this in this way to users.

Would be great to see some more granularity in the way we can grant users rights in the backup and replication client ass wel ass the enterprise manager
