[FEATURE REQUEST] - Veeam Enterprise Role

[CarlosEsteves]

Hello,

I would like to request a new role available in the Veeam Enterprise manager.

Today if we give to people portal administrator they are able to change every configuration.

We need to a middle term role where they can do start jobs, retry jobs, allow restore and do not have permission to change global configurations.

Thanks

Hi Carlos,

Improvements are already planned, but not for Enterprise Manager.

Our current goal is to fully focus on Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) custom roles in Veeam Backup & Replication. These roles can be used in the Windows-based console or the Web UI.

Would that work for you, if we provide more granular control for job management and operations through Custom Roles? Or is there a specific use case that requires Enterprise Manager?

Best,
Fabian

Hello,

I have 12 VBR in my company and operations and monitoring team uses Veeam Enterprise as a single console to check all the jobs. Today to let them re-run a failed job from Veeam Enterprise, they need to be Portal Administrator that also gives permission to manage all the configuration what is very bad.

We must have an intermediate role that give all except Configuration bottom.

Thanks

Hi Carlos,

Thanks. Are you managing a single backup server or multiple ones with this Enterprise Manager?

If it is a single backup server, please consider updating to v13.1. Custom Roles are a useful feature that provides granular control over what a user can do on the backup server.
It is not yet possible to configure granular permissions for backup operator operations, such as configuring, running or retrying a backup job, but we have ideas to bring that to Custom Roles as well.

If you manage multiple backup servers, we also have plans to provide the new Web UI within a single console to the backup administrator. However, it will likely not be based on Enterprise Manager as you know it today. But even for multiple backup servers, the Veeam Backup & Replication Web UI with custom roles will play an important role going forward.

Best,
Fabian

Hi,

I have 12 VBR out of domain, accessible by Delinea local account and all of them are connect to the Veeam Enterprise Manager and that is why I was mentioning about a new role in the Veeam Enterprise portal.

Btw, All VBR are running in the new version 13.1.1.18.

Maybe you can try the Veeam Service Provider Console (also a free product), which can manage Veeam B&R servers and includes an operator role for the described use case.
