Adding an IAM user

Adding an IAM user

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a service to manage user access and permissions to FortiCloud portals and assets. For more information about creating IAM users, see Adding IAM users in the Identity & Access Management (IAM) Administration Guide of FortiCloud.

IAM provides three types of access: Admin, Read-Write and Read-Only.

In FortiSandbox PaaS:

  • The IAM Admin profile is mapped to the hidden FortiSandbox PaaS Admin profile. This profile grants full access to all the features of the FortiSandbox PaaS.

  • There is no Admin profile for the IAM Read-Write access type. This is by-design.
  • The Read-Only Admin profile is mapped to the IAM Read-Only access type. This FortiSandbox PaaS profile is configurable. For example, you want to deny IAM users Administrative access but grant access to On-Demand File submission.
