Accessing the MSSP portal

Accessing the MSSP portal

The managed security service provider (MSSP) portal requires configuring an Identity & Access Management (IAM) user corresponding to the root account, as Adding IAM users describes.

Note

When configuring IAM users for an organization, you typically configure the user type as Organization with a Permission Scope configured to an organization unit (OU) or sub-OU. These users can access the MSSP portal.

IAM users where the user type is configured as Local can directly access the FortiSASE portal into a specific tenant’s instance. However, they cannot access the MSSP portal.

To access the MSSP portal from the FortiSASE portal:
  1. Go to the FortiSASE portal.
  2. Click SSO Login.
  3. Click Sign in as IAM user.
  4. Log in with the user credentials from the CSV that you downloaded when creating the IAM user in To create an IAM user with the wizard. The MSSP portal for the organization displays.

To access the MSSP portal from within a FortiSASE instance:
  1. From within a FortiSASE instance, select the context switch dropdown menu. Accounts within the organization display.
  2. Select the organization or sub-organization units (OU) to enter the MSSP portal for the selected context. In the example, selecting the top-level organization MNC Corporation displays FortiSASE instances for all OUs. Selecting the Sales OU displays FortiSASE instances for that OU only.
