CLI scripts

When you run a function in FortiGate Cloud that applies to FortiGates, such as running a script, FortiGate Cloud may not pass the actual username of the user who performed the action to FortiOS: When remotely accessing a FortiGate from FortiGate Cloud, one of the following occurs:
For other management features that a user can perform from FortiGate Cloud, such as running a script, FortiGate Cloud passes the username of the FortiGate Cloud user who performed the action as FortiGateCloud to FortiOS. Therefore, when viewing logs on the affected FortiGate, you may see 4aa567e55bc8@fortigatecloud.com or FortiGateCloud as a username. For managed security service provider customers, this provides enhanced security by preventing subusers from seeing the primary account email address in the FortiGate logs. |
