Post by mvaltolina »

Hi,
using Veeam Backup and Replication Community Edition it is possible to assign a different role to an administrator or to another user who is not administrator, for example viewer or restore ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks!
I'm probably wrong. I created a user and assigned the administrator role and the administrator user the viewer role but it doesn't work...
can you please tell me the steps?
Thank you

I understand.
It's a shame that multi-factor authentication is not available in the community edition
Thanks, it's very kind of you
