Adding IAM users

FortiManager Cloud supports FortiCloud Identity and Access Management (IAM). You can use the FortiCloud portal to manage users, authentication credentials, and access permissions for FortiManager Cloud.

To add an IAM user:

1. Go to FortiCloud (https://support.fortinet.com/), and log in.

2. From the Services menu, select IAM .

   

   The IAM portal is displayed.

   

3. Create a new IAM user.
   For more information, see Adding IAM Users in the Identity & Access Management (IAM) guide on the Fortinet Documents Library.

4. Add an IAM user group, and add the user to it.
   For more information, see Adding IAM User Groups in the Identity & Access Management (IAM) guide on the Fortinet Documents Library.

5. Generate an IAM user login password.
   For more information, see Generating the password reset link in the Identity & Access Management (IAM) guide on the Fortinet Documents Library.

6. The IAM user can use the credentials to log in to FortiCloud.

   

   After logging in to FortiCloud, the IAM user has access to FortiManager Cloud & Service portal.

7. Enter the FortiManager Cloud instance, and go to System Settings > Administrators to view the IAM user.

FortiCloud IAM User Permissions

FortiCloud User Permission	Associated FortiManager Admin Profile
Admin	Assigned to the Super_User admin profile.
Read-Write	Assigned to the Standard_User admin profile.
Read-Only	Assigned to the Restricted_User admin profile.
