User definition
End users can browse the web through FortiIsolator as a guest or by logging into their user account. The administrator can create local user accounts or allow single sign-on for existing users in your organization. All user info is secured using a RADIUS database.
This section provides a way to create local users, assign the user to groups with (if desired) a policy.
