Role management

FortiWeb Cloud has three permissions:

  • When an administrator has only read access to a feature, the administrator can access the web UI page for that feature, but cannot make changes to the configuration. An exception is the API Key in Global > System Settings > Settings . The read-only user is also allowed to create API key.
  • Write access is required for modification of any kind.
  • None means the administrator can't access the feature.

Role management controls the specific job that each administrator does, such as user account creation, log auditing, or editing configurations of a specific feature. It can limit each administrator account to their assigned role.

To create a role:

  1. Go to Global > Administrators > Role Management.
  2. Click Add Role.
  3. Enter a role name.
  4. Enter a brief description for this role.
  5. Select permissions to access different part of web GUI.
  6. Click OK.

If you want to modify permission for a role or remove it, click the Edit or Delete icon beside this role.

Use Admin Management to assign roles to administrator accounts.
