Set-VBREPPermission

Short Description

Applies user access permissions to backup repositories used by Veeam Agent or Veeam Plug-in operating in the standalone mode.

Syntax

Set-VBREPPermission -Repository <CBackupRepository> [-Type <VBREPPermissionType> {Everyone | NoOne | OnlySelectedUsers}] [-User <String[]>] [-EnableEncryption] [-EncryptionKey <VBREncryptionKey>] [-KMSServer <VBRKMSServer>] [-PassThru] [-Force] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet applies user access permissions to a selected repository that is used as a target by Veeam Agent or Veeam Plug-in operating in the standalone mode.

By default, the backup repositories are configured to have no permissions for writing backups created by Veeam Agent or Veeam Plug-in operating in the standalone mode. To start using a Veeam backup repository as a target, you need to change the access permissions to Everyone or OnlySelectedUsers.

Note

To modify settings, specify new values for the necessary parameters. The cmdlet will overwrite the previous parameter values with new values. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Repository	Specifies the repository for which you want to set permissions. Note: You cannot set permissions for Veeam Cloud Connect repositories.	Accepts string (repository name) or the CBackupRepository object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet.	True	Named	True (ByValue, ByProperty Name)
Type	Specifies the permission type: Everyone: everyone has permissions. NoOne: no one has permissions. OnlySelectedUsers: the selected users have permissions. Use the User parameter to specify the users. Default: the permissions type that is currently set for the selected repository.	VBREPPermissionType	False	Named	False
User	Used to set users for OnlySelectedUsers option. Specifies names of users allowed to use the repository. You can specify user names or names of Active Directory groups.	String[]	False	Named	False
EnableEncryption	Enables the option to encrypt the backups created by Veeam Agent or Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV. Use the EncryptionKey parameter to specify the encryption key. Note: Do not enable the encryption option if you back up your data with Veeam Plug-in. Veeam Plug-ins cannot send backups to a backup repository where encryption is enabled.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
EncryptionKey	Used to specify the encryption key for the EnableEncryption parameter.	Accepts the VBREncryptionKey object. To get this object, run the Get-VBREncryptionKey cmdlet.	False	Named	False
PassThru	Defines that the command returns the output object to the Windows PowerShell console.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
Force	Defines that the cmdlet will apply access permissions to a repository without showing warnings in the PowerShell console.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
KMSServer	Specifies KMS servers added to the Veeam Backup & Replication console. The cmdlet will decrypt data encrypted by this server.	Accepts the VBRKMSServer object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRKMSServer cmdlet.	False	Named	False

Examples

Set-VBREPPermission Example 1. Granting Repository Permissions to Administrator

This example shows how to grant permission to access the WinLocal repository to Administrator.

$repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "WinLocal"

Set-VBREPPermission -Repository $repository -Type OnlySelectedUsers -User "VEEAM\Administrator"

RepositoryId : 88788f9e-d8f5-4eb4-bc4f-9b3f5403bcec
PermissionType : OnlySelectedUsers
Users : {VEEAM\Administrator1, VEEAM\Administrator2}
IsEncryptionEnabled : False
EncryptionKey :

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save it to the $repository variable.
Run the Set-VBREPPermission cmdlet. Set the $repository variable as the Repository parameter value. Set the OnlySelectedUsers option for the Type parameter. Specify the User parameter value.

Set-VBREPPermission Example 2. Enabling Encryption for Repository

This command enables encryption for the WinLocal repository.

$encryptionkey = Get-VBREncryptionKey -Description "Veeam Administrator"

$repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "WinLocal"

Set-VBREPPermission -Repository $repository -EnableEncryption -EncryptionKey $encryptionkey

RepositoryId : 88788f9e-d8f5-4eb4-bc4f-9b3f5403bcec
PermissionType : OnlySelectedUsers
Users : {VEEAM\Administrator}
IsEncryptionEnabled : True
EncryptionKey : ac87709d-b1a9-4c2e-8d55-557f8e49f639

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBREncryptionKey cmdlet. Specify the Description parameter value. Save it to the $encryptionkey variable.
Run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save it to the $repository variable.
Run the Set-VBREPPermission cmdlet. Set the $repository variable as the Repository parameter value. Provide the EnableEncryption parameter. Set the $encryptionkey variable as the EncryptionKey parameter value.

Set-VBREPPermission Example 3. Granting User Access Permissions to Everyone

This example shows how to grant user access permissions to everyone and enable encryption for the WinLocal repository.

$encryptionkey = Get-VBREncryptionKey -Description "Veeam Administrator"

$repository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -Name "WinLocal"

Set-VBREPPermission -Repository $repository -Type Everyone -EnableEncryption -EncryptionKey $encryptionkey

RepositoryId : 88788f9e-d8f5-4eb4-bc4f-9b3f5403bcec
PermissionType : Everyone
Users : {VEEAM\Administrator}
IsEncryptionEnabled : True
EncryptionKey : ac87709d-b1a9-4c2e-8d55-557f8e49f639

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBREncryptionKey cmdlet. Specify the Description parameter value. Save it to the $encryptionkey variable.
Run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save it to the $repository variable.
Run the Set-VBREPPermission cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Set the $repository variable as the Repository parameter value.
Set the Everyone option for the Type parameter.
Provide the EnableEncryption parameter.
Set the $encryptionkey variable as the EncryptionKey parameter value.
