Admin roles
You can use admin roles to define the permissions each administrator account has in FortiClient EMS. You can use one of the four default admin roles in FortiClient EMS (super administrator, standard administrator, endpoint administrator, restricted administrator) or create a new admin role to assign to an administrator account. Each admin role can include permissions from three categories: endpoint permissions, policy permissions, and settings permissions.
The following describes the four default admin roles in FortiClient EMS. You cannot edit or delete these admin roles.
