Upgrade information
|
You can only upgrade from FortiEDR 5.0 or 5.2.0 to 5.2.1. Fortinet recommends that you skip FortiEDR 5.2.1 and upgrade to FortiEDR 6.0 directly because FortiEDR 5.2.1 is not recommended for production. |
The following section highlights operational changes that administrators should be aware of in FortiEDR 5.2.1.
User access changes
When upgrading to FortiEDR 5.2.1 from 5.0 or 5.2.0, be aware of the following behavior changes in user access management in the ADMINISTRATION > USERS page:
-

Admin users no longer have access to custom scripts by default. You must manually select the Custom script checkbox when creating the Admin user or assigning groups for the Admin role in the LDAP AUTHENTICATION and SAML AUTHENTICATION sections.
For existing Admin users created in previous versions, edit the user or LDAP and SAML group to enable the Custom script checkbox. Otherwise, the Admin user will not be able to see the Action Manager button in the Integrations page for uploading custom scripts.
-
For multi-tenancy environments, existing SAML and LDAP Admin users created in previous versions with access to all organizations will only have access to the default organization after the upgrade to 5.2.1. If your multi-tenancy environment has SAML users only, contact Fortinet support to reconfigure the SAML users after the upgrade.
