To perform actions on the Veeam backup servers, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager use one of the following accounts:
- The account specified when adding a Veeam backup server (see Adding Veeam Backup Servers).
- The account under which the Veeam Enterprise Manager Service runs, for example, if you have upgraded your Enterprise Manager (with backup servers connections preserved).
The account used to interact with the backup server must have Veeam Backup Administrator role permissions on the backup server side. This is because on the Veeam backup server side all operations are performed by Veeam Backup Service that verifies beforehand if the account that is used to interact with the backup server has rights to accomplish the necessary actions.
