Can't Change SMTP Settings

[BCT-Tech]

Email notification stopped working. Trying to modify the current SMTP settings, but they won't save. When I click Test Message, I get this error: "Access denied. Backup settings are managed by your backup administrator."

Any ideas?

Hi,

Is that VAW 2.0 BETA? Did you test configuration API (or maybe VAC)?

[BCT-Tech]

Yes, VAW 2.0 Beta. Not sure how to test.

Got it, thanks! Try admin account – this might be a permission issue.

That seems to have worked. I was logged in as Domain Admin. Didn't have to run-as-administrator on Veeam Endpoint.
Thanks

Great! We added request for elevated account to all VAW 2.0 components to ensure that regular end-users won’t be able to change the settings.

Hi,
Is it possible to make the user on the client PC a member of a non-admin group that allows them access to the configuration profile in Veeam Agent for Windows?

Hi Jim,

No. Admin account is required to perform changes in agent settings.

Thanks for the reply, how about allowing non-admin users access to the restore options?
