System administration
When the FortiGate unit is first installed, it is configured with a single administrator
account with the user name 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
account can connect to the FortiGate unit.
Each administrator account belongs to an access profile. You can create access
profiles that deny access to or allow read only, write only, or both read and write
access to the following FortiGate features.
