Creating test users

Creating test users

The FortiTester system has one default administrative account named "admin". It also allows you to create other administrative or tester user accounts.

The default “admin” account is the super administrator, which can create and delete all other accounts, whereas the other administrative accounts can only create administrative/tester accounts and delete tester accounts.

The administrative user can perform a test, create and delete a tester, and set the system configuration.

A tester user can only perform tests and view test results. If a user logs in with a tester role, the User Management menu is not shown, and the contents in the System page is read-only.

To create a test user:
  1. Go to System > System > Administrators.
  2. On User Management page, click Add to display the Create a new tester dialogue box.
  3. Select a role, admin or tester.
  4. Complete the username and password settings.
  5. Click Save.
