Possible Profiles - Upgraded Database

Prior versions of FortiNAC contained several user types with varying permissions. From Version 7.0 forward there is only one type of user, Administrative, and access is controlled based on the settings of the Admin Profile associated with each user. During the upgrade process any existing Admin User types and their corresponding permissions are converted to Admin Profiles and assigned to Admin Users. There may be many as two Help Desk profiles and eight Operator profiles created during the upgrade. The table below contains the full list of Admin Profiles that could be created.
