Next Steps
Veeam RootAccess Wizard helps you enable or disable remote root access, or create a regular non-root user account which is not allowed by default on ESX Server. The newly created non-root user will belong to the default ‘users’ group and will be automatically granted remote ssh access. Su or sudo commands can then be used to elevate to the root account for privileged operations.
Note: To follow security best practices it is recommended to use a regular local account for remote ssh connections as it leaves an audit trail to help you track user activity.
