Viewing user details

When an administrator configures FortiClient to send logs to FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager, some user details are visible in FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, and FortiOS. See Sending logs and Windows host events to FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager.

Click the user avatar in the upper left corner of FortiClient to view the following information:

Displays the source of the endpoint user's personal information and the last time the information was updated. The options are user-specified, from the OS, and from cloud applications: LinkedIn, Google, and Salesforce. Depending on the EMS configuration, not all options may be available.

You can click User Input to select an image or take a webcam photo to use as the user avatar.

You can provide information to FortiClient from an account for a cloud application, such as a Linkedin, Google, or Salesforce account.
