Veeam Backup Enterprise Manage restAPI - Readonly Role Feature Request

[chrismatthews17]

Case ID# 07624024

It would be nice as from a security aspect, for the purpose for monitoring / Information collection to have a read only role.

I'm being to get this request from several customers from large environments who they are senstive and need more fine tuned role management.

Hi Chris,

Please note that the REST API from Enterprise Manager will not receive new features (only fixes); over time, all features will be made available through the Backup Server API.

But the Backup Server API already supports a kind of read-only role through Veeam Backup & Replication role management.
For example, you can assign the "Backup Viewer Role" to the account used for the REST API. The Backup Viewer Role allows the account to view job sessions but does not grant any permissions to change any configurations.

Hi Fabian,
Thanks for your feedback, once Veeam Backup & Replication REST API has Agent Backup Jobs (fully implimented: session, tasks, logs, etc) I can move accross.
For other forum readers the Veeam Backup & Replication REST API is a big improvement on the EM RestAPI, even when it's still work in progress.
Best regards
Chris
