Tenant Account Types

To work with the cloud resources provided by the SP, the tenant uses a tenant account. Veeam Backup & Replication offers the following types of tenant accounts:

Standalone tenant account — a regular tenant account for Veeam Cloud Connect Backup and Veeam Cloud Connect Replication scenarios. When the SP creates an account of this type, the SP specifies a name and password for the account, assigns a quota on the cloud repository to the tenant and subscribes the tenant to a hardware plan. To learn more, see Veeam Cloud Connect Backup and Veeam Cloud Connect Replication.
VMware Cloud Director tenant account — a tenant account used to provide Veeam Cloud Connect backup and replication resources to VMware Cloud Director organizations. When the SP creates an account of this type, the SP specifies an organization, assigns a quota on the cloud repository to the tenant and specifies an organization VDC that will be used as a cloud host for tenant VM replicas. To learn more, see VMware Cloud Director Tenant Account.

Note

Starting from Veeam Backup & Replication version 13, it is no longer possible to create Active Directory tenant accounts. Previously created accounts of this type remain available and the SP can manage them.
