Add a guest kiosk profile
A kiosk allows visitors to your facility to create their own account. Guests have a maximum of 24 hours of access to your network, which may be only during certain hours of the day, or a pre-defined number of hours from when they log on. Guests may simply be queried for pre-defined contact data. In any case, at 11:59 PM each day, or after the allowed number of hours has elapsed, kiosk guest accounts expire.
All other profile options are disabled if kiosk mode is enabled, because guests creating their own accounts would not need access to other options.
For added security, sponsors should use a kiosk browser. Kiosk browsers block users from accessing other programs on the host or other web sites.
This procedure describes how to create a profile that gives a sponsor permission to manage a kiosk. A sponsor with kiosk mode enabled cannot access any of the regular FortiNAC windows. That user can log in to display the guest login web page and make it available on the kiosk PC.
To create a profile you must first be logged into your Administrator account.
- Click Users > Admin Profiles.
- Click Add. The Add Admin Profile screen appears with the General tab highlighted.
- On the General tab, enter a name for the profile, such as kiosk sponsor.
- Use the table below to fill out the settings.
- Under Manage Hosts and Ports select All.
- Select Enable Guest Kiosk.
- In the Kiosk Template field select a guest/contractor account template. All guest accounts created through the Kiosk will use this template.
- In the Kiosk Welcome Text field type the message that a guest will see when they create a guest account through the Kiosk.
- Click OK to save.

Manage Hosts And Ports |
Restricts an administrator to a specific set of hosts or ports. The set is defined by host and port groups that are assigned to be managed by a specific group of administrators. Any administrator that has a profile with this option enabled can only view and or modify a subset of the data in FortiNAC. Typically, this type of user would ONLY have the Manage Hosts & Ports permission set on the Permissions tab, therefore, this setting is not used frequently. Default = All.
For an overview and additional setup information, see Limit access with groups. |

Enable Guest Kiosk |

See Using a kiosk to read the sponsor’s procedure. Sponsors with this profile cannot do anything except log into the Kiosk PC to display the Guest Login page. Sponsors who need to manually create visitor accounts cannot have Kiosk mode enabled. |
