Managing User Accounts

Veeam Backup for AWS controls access to its functionality with the help of user roles. A role defines what operations users can perform and what range of data is available to them in Veeam Backup for AWS.

There are 4 user roles that you can assign to users working with Veeam Backup for AWS. Actions a user can perform depend on the role.

  • Portal Administrator — can perform all configuration actions, and can also act as a Portal Operator and Restore Operator.
  • Portal Operator — can create and edit backup policies, perform backup and restore operations, manage protected data and track session statistics.
  • Restore Operator — can only perform restore operations and track session statistics.
  • Read-Only User — can only view backup policies, monitor protected data and track session statistics.

Important

  • The list of portal users may display user accounts with the Company Administrator role assigned — these accounts are intended to be used for the integration of Veeam Backup for AWS and Veeam Service Provider Console, and are created using the Veeam Service Provider Console plug-in. It is not recommended that you perform any actions with these users.
  • Note that user accounts with the Company Administrator role assigned have full access to AWS Organizations and can retrieve the organization structure.

The following table describes the functionality available to users with different roles in the Veeam Backup for AWS UI.
