Veeam Permissions

[2Tall]

Hi. I was advised to tighten permissions on vCenter (remove Administrators from Administrator role) then specify specific AD accounts, good practice. However after doing this all Veeam Backup Jobs failed returning error "Task failed Error:Permission to perform this operation was denied".

Questions:
1) What permissions does Veeam require to backup up VM's?
2) Which account does Veeam use?

Kind Regards,
Phil.

Hello Phil,

Please find the required permissions list in this topic: vCenter Server Granular Permissions (v6)

Thanks!
