Add a user

FortiExtender Cloud administrators can add new users to FortiExtender Cloud via FortiCare or the IAM portal. You can add two different kinds of users:

  4. Click the Add New User icon.

    The Add User view loads.

  5. Enter the user's information into the required fields.

  6. Select the desired permissions for your user.

    You can select if the user has access to Customer Service support, begin an RMA process, accesses Technical Assistance, and more.

  7. Select the Access level you want the user to have.

    • To grant the user Admin privileges, select Full Access.
    • To limit a user's privileges, select Limit Access and specify which FortiExtender devices you want to limit your user to seeing. You can also assign either a ReadWrite or ReadOnly role to the user from FortiExtender Cloud, see Assigning sub user permissions.
  8. When you are finished, click Save

    The user will automatically be added into FortiExtender Cloud.
