Migrate legacy FortiLAN Cloud users to FortiCloud IAM

You can migrate the legacy email users to IAM users following the sub user migration procedure. For more information, see Migrating sub users.

Note: This migration procedure is applicable to only those FortiLAN Cloud email users who are present in FortiCloud. If the email user is NOT present in FortiCloud, then you are required to create a new IAM user in FortiCloud and delete the existing legacy email user from FortiLAN Cloud.
