Users in FortiPAM

The following user types are available:

• Local User: Information configured and stored on the FortiPAM.

• API User: Accesses FortiPAM by using a token via REST API instead of the GUI.

• Remote User: Information configured and stored on a remote server.

FortiPAM users can have one of the following role types:

• Guest User: For demonstration purposes only. Guest users can only view secrets and have restricted access to FortiPAM features.

• Standard User: Logs in, makes requests for resources, and connect to the privileged resources.

  The standard user role is for basic use only. A standard user is not allowed to configure or manage access to privileged resources, e.g., a user that connects to the workstation.

• Power User: For managing general secret settings, e.g., a power user can change who approves secrets, commands blocked on the target server, etc.

• Administrator: Staff administrators used for configuring FortiPAM, and managing access to privileged resources, e.g., an IT staff member managing the access of standard users or approving requests.

• For Administrator, administrator roles are available. See Role.
