Administrator Guide for Enterprises

Managing Portal Administrators

By default, the following users have Portal Administrator privileges in Veeam Availability Console:

  • Members of the local Administrators user group on the machine where Veeam Availability Console is installed.
  • Members of the Veeam Backup Administrators group which includes:
  • Users with the Veeam Backup Administrator role assigned in Veeam Backup & Replication on the Veeam Cloud Connect server.

By default, this role is assigned to the members of the local Administrators user group on the Veeam Cloud Connect server.

  • Built-in administrator of the machine running the Veeam Cloud Connect server.

You can assign the role of a Portal Administrator to other users, enable and disable Portal Administrators.

Assigning Portal Administrator Role

To grant Portal Administrator privileges to a user you can either:

  • Add a user to the local Administrators group on the machine hosting Veeam Availability Console. If you installed Veeam Availability Console using the distributed deployment scenario, this must be a machine on which the Veeam Availability Console Server component runs.

For details, see This Microsoft TechNet article.

  • Assign to the user the role of a Veeam Backup Administrator on the Veeam Cloud Connect server.

For details, see Roles and Users.
