PVE Role privileges

Post by jbender81 »

Moin,
Is there a list of required Proxmox privileges for "veeam@pam" for the API-Connection
There is already a very nice list for sudo here https://www.veeam.com/kb4701 for the user "veeam" for the SSH-connection.

Cheers
Jörg

Hi Jörg,

As written in the same KB, administrator role is needed.

"Add the Administrator role for the root path ( Path: / ) to that user."

Hi,
Thank you.
I had hoped for a little bit more granular privileges, like it is provided for sudo.
This is pretty much the equivalent to "veeam ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" for sudo.

Cheers
