Managing Company Owners

Each company in Veeam Service Provider Console has one Company Owner user. A Company Owner acts on behalf of a company that consumes provided services.

Credentials of a Company Owner are required to:

  • Connect to Veeam Service Provider Console client Veeam Backup & Replication servers
  • Connect to Veeam Service Provider Console management agents running on client computers that are protected with Veeam backup agents
  • Gain access to the Veeam Service Provider Console Client Portal

You can think of the Company Owner as of a super user at a company level. In the Client Portal, a Company Owner has access to all monitoring and billing details for all company locations, and can perform all types of configuration and management tasks. For details on Veeam Service Provider Console functionality available to a Company Owner in the Client Portal, see Guide for End Users.
