Veeam SQL Explorer

[spf62]

Hello all, just a few questions for those using Veeam SQL Explorer:

What domain user rights does one need for this?

What access does this give the user on Veeam B&R?

Can I limit what servers that person has access to?

any help is appreciated
thanks

Hi Steve,

Local administrator rights are needed to use Veeam SQL Explorer, so the user has full access to the Veeam B&R console.
What's the use case to limit server access?

Please, review required rights and permission in the User Guide. Thanks!

The question to us Veeam SQL explorer came from our DBA team, but we have been reluctant to give them this until we found out the questions above. One thing we cannot do is give them full access to our B&R environment. That would violate our SOX control as they are not domain admins

thanks for your quick response

Note that if you have Enterprise Plus edition, you can delegate SQL restores to your DBAs within Enterprise Manager rather than give them access to the VBR console.

Joe, do you know if I can choose specific SQL servers or is it a blanket permission?

From the link I provided:

Users with the Portal User or Restore Operator role can access their restore scope — a list of VMs that can be recovered by appropriate personnel. For example, database administrators can restore database servers (SQL, Oracle, or other) — this is their restore scope;
