User Guide

Users

Users

The FortiAIOps allows administrators to create users, who will subsequently be available in the FortiAIOps application.

User profiles within FortiAIOps are consistent across both the Command Line Interface (CLI) and the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Users can use the same password for both CLI and GUI access.

Note:

  • GUI usernames must begin with a lowercase letter or an underscore (_) and can include special characters like hyphens (-) or underscores (_), along with along with alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9).

  • After upgrading to version 3.0.0, GUI user names starting with a capital letter will be marked as invalid, preventing CLI synchronization.

  • If a user that exists in both CLI and GUI have different passwords, they will retain their respective passwords even after the upgrade.

  • Upon upgrading to release 3.0.0, all pre-existing user configurations will be automatically synchronized between the CLI and GUI.

User permissions are indirectly assigned through their membership in user groups. By default, all users are members of the Default user group. The admin user and all ADOMs are automatically members of the Super User user group, and cannot be moved to any other user group. All users must belong to at least one user group. It is recommended to assign both the ADOM and users to the user group upon its creation to ensure that users have access to the assigned ADOM. If a user is removed from a user group, they will be moved to the Default user group.

Note: User Management configuration can only be performed by users with the System Administrator and Super User roles.
