Customize EMS console UI 6.4.1

You can use Feature Select to enable and disable different features in EMS. Only features enabled in Feature Select display in other EMS configuration areas. This allows you to have more control to customize your EMS.

Example 1

This example enables VPN, Vulnerability Scan, and FortiClient Single Sign-On Mobility Agent and disables Malware Protection, Sandbox Detection, Web Filter, and Application Firewall in Feature Select.

Only enabled features appear in other EMS configuration areas. In an endpoint profile, the Malware Protection, Sandbox Detection, Web Filter, and Application Firewall tabs are not available for configuration.

The Manage Dashboards Widgets dialog does not list the Antivirus Detection, Sandbox Detection, or Web Filter Detection widgets.

All feature options still display when creating a deployment package. A warning appears beside features disabled in Feature Select. If in this example you enable AntiVirus in a deployment package, the deployment package installs AntiVirus on the endpoint. However, the AntiVirus feature is disabled on the endpoint and does not appear in the FortiClient GUI.

Example 2

This example creates a profile with only Vulnerability Scan enabled.

Since this profile only has Vulnerability Scan enabled, EMS does not allow you to disable Vulnerability Scan in Feature Select and displays a warning at the top of the GUI.

Example 3

This example enables all features and creates a profile where VPN is enabled.

When an endpoint receives that profile, the Remote Access tab is enabled in FortiClient.

Then, disable VPN in Feature Select.

The VPN tab is no longer available for configuration in endpoint profiles.

After the endpoint syncs with EMS, the Remote Access tab does not appear in FortiClient.
