Accessing Veeam Host Management Console

You can log in to the Veeam Host Management console under a user account with either the Host Administrator or Security Officer role.

During any Veeam appliance installation, the following user accounts are created:

  • veeamadmin — a default user account with Host Administrator permissions.
  • veeamso — a default user account with Security Officer permissions. The account can log in only to the Veeam Host Management web UI. This account is available only if you configured it during the Initial Configuration wizard. For details, see Configure Security Officer Account.

A Host Administrator can add additional user accounts to grant access to Veeam Host Management. For more information, see Managing Users and Roles.

Note

User accounts are locked after three failed login attempts. For more information on how to unlock them, see Unlocking Users.

Logging in to Web UI

To log in to the Veeam Host Management web UI, do the following:

  1. In your web browser, navigate to the Veeam Host Management URL. The URL consists of an FQDN or IP address of the server where the backup infrastructure component is installed, and the Veeam Host Management port. For example, https://vbrsrv01.tech.local:10443.
  2. Specify user credentials with Host Administrator or Security Officer permissions.
  3. Click Sign in.
  4. If you enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the user, specify the confirmation code and click OK.

Note

For Security Officer, MFA is enabled by default.
