Set user expiration date

The expiration date on a user determines when the user record is automatically deleted or aged out of the database. Administrators default to No Expiration. See Aging out host or user records for information on other methods.

The user inactivity timer is started when all hosts registered to a user are seen as offline. When a host is seen as connected, the timer is cleared. The timer is also cleared when the user logs into FortiNAC.

Administrators assigned the System Administrator profile cannot be aged out.

The Set User Expiration Date feature can be accessed either from the user view or the Host View.

  1. Select Users > User View.
  2. Use the Quick Search or Custom Filter to locate the appropriate user(s).
  3. Select the users to be modified.
  4. Right-click or click Options and select Set User Expiration.
  5. Use the table below to enter expiration criteria.
  6. Click OK to set the expiration dates.
