Hello all,
I am new to RHV/OLVM environment, so what does it mean this:
"You must have an admin user account that can connect to Red Hat VMs"
+
The backup/restore user must have several additional permissions.
So, the service account that is used to connect to the hypervisor must be an admin account, able to connect to Red Hat VMs, and have the permissions listed in the doc? Why would an admin account need additional permissions? Admin isn't sufficient?
Regards,
Good morning. You should only need an account that has access to the VMs:
“Admin user credentials for the RHEV Manager host.”
Hi
I have configured RHV a few years ago and backed up/restored the VM's without issues.
Never had to adjust any permissions when an RHV admin user is used.

What does access to the VMs mean?
A user that can login to the VMs (Linux and Windows)? Or a user that can access de VMs folders?

Hello
I wanted to create a backup user with restricted rights. That is why I wanted to understand all the permission requirements.
I believe you need these permissions on an admin type account in order to backup and restore.
Never tested it though, so please test before implementing it into production.

yes, role type admin and that set of permissions. I did not know admin was one of the two role types in OLVM (user and admin)
