Administrator account levels

When the FortiLog unit is initially installed, it is configured with a single administrator account with the user name of “admin”. From this administrator account, you can add and edit administrator accounts. You can also control the access level of each of these administrator accounts and control the IP address from which the administrator can connect to the FortiLog unit.

There are three administration account access levels:

admin

user who can go to the System Status page and manually update firmware,

down the FortiLog unit. There is only one admin user.
