User management
The primary user can add users to the account using the following methods:
|
User type |
Method |
|---|---|
|
Identity and Access Management (IAM) user |
Add users to the FortiCloud account with role-based access control in FortiGate Cloud using the FortiCloud IAM service. See IAM users. |
|
FortiGate Cloud user |
Add FortiGate Cloud-only users. This is only supported when using multitenancy with subaccounts. See FortiGate Cloud users. |
FortiGate Cloud does not support subusers added via the FortiCare legacy user management system. IAM users are the recommended approach.
IAM users
FortiCloud IAM supports creating IAM users and allowing access to FortiGate Cloud using resource-based access control using FortiCloud permission profiles. When creating a permission profile in the IAM portal, you must add the FortiGate Cloud portal to the profile and configure the desired permissions.
For details on creating a permission profile in the IAM portal, see Creating a permission profile.
See Adding IAM users for details on configuring IAM users.
FortiCloud organizations
FortiGate Cloud supports organizational unit (OU) account selection and switching. See Organization Portal for details on creating an OU.
