Creating a FortiLAN Cloud group and users
Perform this procedure to use a FortiLAN Cloud group and users as the RADIUS setting when you configure an SSID with WPA-2 Enterprise authentication. As part of user group configuration, you can assign VLAN IDs, especially useful for when assigning users to different networks without requiring multiple SSIDs.
Note: Enterprise (802.1x) wireless networks (versions prior to FortiLAN Cloud 21.2) that use the FortiAP Cloud User/Group feature and have client devices (such as Android 11) with the domain name fortiapcloud.com during their wireless connection must be re-configured in FortiLAN Cloud; the new domain name is fortilancloud.com. This is required for the wireless client devices to connect.
