FortiCloud IAM Users

An IAM (Identity and Access Management) user with Organizational permissions has specific credentials and permissions, facilitating controlled access to FortiCloud resources and services.

Before creating an IAM user to use with FortiAppSec Cloud, you must first create a FortiAppSec Cloud portal Permission Profile.

Create a new FortiAppSec Cloud portal permission profile

1. On the admin home page, go to Services > Assets&Accounts > IAM in the top navigation bar.

   

2. Click on Permission Profiles in the left-hand navigation bar.

3. Click Add New to create a new Permission profile.

   

   1. Enter a name for the profile in the Permission Profile Name field.

   2. Set the Status to Active.

   3. Enter a description of the portal permissions in the Description field.

4. Click Add Portal. A list of available portals is displayed.

   

5. To use this Permission Profile with FortiAppSec Cloud, select the FortiAppSec Cloud portal.

6. Click Add. The new FortiAppSec Cloud portal displays as a card under Permission Profile

   • Click the switch under Access to enable the portal, then select your desired access settings for this profile.

     

   • For other portals with role-based permissions, enable access and specify the portal Access Type and any Additional Permissions.

7. Click Save. The permission profile is now available to be assigned to users.
