Administrator profiles

Use profiles to authorize an administrator to view and modify only the content that is required for that administrator. For example, a system administrator may require write access to FortiPortal configuration, but does not need write access to organization information.

Each profile defines the access rights of the user to specific FortiPortal components. The user may have read/write access to the content, or it may be hidden or read-only.

The system provides a default administrative profile. You can also create new profiles or customize the default profile.

The following table describes the default profile for administrators:

Profile	Description
Admin	The Admin profile provides full read/write access to all of the FortiPortal. The Admin profile also provides read/write access to the organization portal.

In previous versions, profiles were referred to as "roles". In the GUI, "roles" is still occasionally used, and is synonymous with "profiles".
