FortiCloud account

The FortiCloud account is a centralized login system provided by Fortinet. It serves as a unified authentication mechanism for accessing various Fortinet services and platforms. With a FortiCloud account, users can conveniently log in to multiple Fortinet cloud services and platforms using a single set of credentials. This eliminates the need to create and manage separate accounts for each service, streamlining the login process and enhancing user experience.

The FortiCloud account:

• Provides single Sign On (SSO) authentication to allow access all applications and services that support the FortiCloud account with a single set of credentials.

• Provides single Sign On (SSO) authentication for customized users and external IdP roles that have been configured for specific portal access capabilities.

• Binds all key resources such as hardware and software assets, products, services, users and roles.

• Support multifactor authentication and credential management.

Multiple user accounts and external IdP roles can be created within the account that have their own login credentials. By configuring permission profiles, users and roles can be created with specific access levels for portals, services, and features. This allows for specialized, granular access for those with access to the account through user logins. See User management.

By leveraging the FortiCloud account, customers can access and manage their Fortinet cloud services, Fortinet support, collaborate within the Fortinet community, and utilize partner-specific resources and tools through a seamless and secure authentication framework.
