Security

You can use the Security tab to create and maintain a list of credentials records that you plan to use to connect to components in the virtual and backup infrastructure and adjust the login session settings to optimize the process of accessing Veeam ONE Web Client.

The Credentials Manager lets you create the following types of credentials records:

• Standard account
• Linux private key
