Accepting and Rejecting Management Agent Connections

In Veeam Service Provider Console, you can accept and reject connections from Veeam Service Provider Console management agents.

Required Privileges

To perform this task, a user must have one of the following roles assigned: Portal Administrator, Site Administrator, Portal Operator.

Accepting Management Agent Connections

You normally need to accept connections manually if auto deployment settings are configured not to accept connections from new Veeam Service Provider Console management agents. In this case, although on a client or hosted computer you have configured a management agent to connect to Veeam Service Provider Console, in the Administrator Portal this agent will be displayed as Rejected. To work with a discovered computer in Veeam Service Provider Console, you will need to manually accept a connection from the management agent.

For details on auto deployment settings, see Configuring Auto Deployment Settings.
