Admin profiles

Similar to FortiOS, FortiAuthenticator can incorporate the use of admin profiles. Each administrator can be granted either full permissions or a customized admin profile. Profiles are defined as aggregates of read-only or read/write permission sets. A built-in read-only admin profile is available. The most commonly used permission sets are pre-defined, but custom permission sets can also be created.

To create a new admin profile, go to System > Administration > Admin Profiles > Create New. You can give the admin profile a Name, a Description, and configure the Permission sets you want for that particular admin profile.

Go to Authentication > User Management > Local Users, and select the admin profile to an administrator. You can assign more than one admin profile to each administrator.
