Adding or editing an administrator account

You can add, edit or delete a FortiAnalyzer administrator account, except the default administrator admin administrator account.

When configuring the administrator’s information, you can add the @ symbol to the administrator’s name. For example, jb@headquarters. The @ symbol is also useful to those administrators who require RADIUS authentication.

To add or edit an administrator account

1Go to System > Admin > Administrators.

2Select Create New.

3Configure the following options and select OK.

Administrator	Enter the administrator name. You can now add the @ symbol, if
	required.
Remote Auth	Select if you are using a RADIUS server group on your network.
Auth Group	Select which RADIUS server group to use when authenticating
	this administrator account.
	This option only appears if Remote Auth is enabled.
Password	Enter a password. For security reasons, a password should be a
	mixture of letters and numbers and longer than six characters.
	If a user attempts to log in and mis-types the password three
	times, the user is locked out of the system from that IP address for
	a short period of time.
	This does not appear when editing the account.
Confirm Password	Re-enter the password to confirm its spelling.
	This does not appear when editing the account.
Trusted Host	Enter the IP address and netmask of acceptable locations for the
	administrator to log in to the FortiAnalyzer unit.
	If you want the administrator to be able to access the
	FortiAnalyzer unit from any address, use the IP address and
	netmask 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0. To limit the administrator to only
	access the FortiAnalyzer unit from a specific network, enter that
	network’s IP and netmask.
