# Request-VBREntraIDLogin

## Short Description
Requests login to Microsoft Entra ID using an account associated with the tenant whose data you are restoring.

**Product Edition**: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

## Syntax
```
Request-VBREntraIDLogin -Session <VBREntraIDTenantRestoreSession> [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet requests login to Entra ID using an account associated with the tenant whose data you are restoring. The login is required if the application used for restore does not have enough permissions of the application type. The permissions must be the same as for using an existing application. For more information, see the [Permissions](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/entraid/entra_id_permissions.html?ver=13) section in the User Guide for Microsoft Entra ID. By default, the application used while adding a tenant is also used for restore.

The cmdlet will provide you the verification code. Paste this code to the [https://microsoft.com/devicelogin](https://microsoft.com/devicelogin) page. Then specify a Microsoft Entra user account that is associated with the tenant selected for restore. The account must have the same permissions as for creating a new application. The permissions are listed in the [Permissions](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/entraid/entra_id_permissions.html?ver=13) section in the User Guide for Microsoft Entra ID.

Use this cmdlet right after the [`Start-VBREntraIDTenantRestore`](start-vbrentraidtenantrestore.md) cmdlet.
