Editing administrator accounts
The admin account user can change individual administrator account passwords,
configure the IP addresses from which administrators can access the web-based
manager, and change the administrator permission levels.
Administrator account users with Read & Write access can change their own
administrator passwords.
To edit an administrator account
1
Go to
System > Config > Admin
.
2
To change an administrator account password, select Change Password
.
3
Type the Old Password.
4
Type a New Password and Confirm the new password.
For improved security, the password should be at least 6 characters long. The
password can contain any characters except spaces. If you enter a password that is
less than 6 characters long, the system displays a warning message but still accepts
the password.
5
Select OK.
6
To edit the settings of an administrator account, select Edit
.
7
Optionally type a Trusted Host IP address and netmask for the location from which the
administrator can log into the web-based manager.
If you want the administrator to be able to access the FortiGate unit from any address,
set the trusted host to 0.0.0.0 and the netmask to 255.255.255.255.
To limit the administrator to only be able to access the FortiGate unit from a specific
network, set the trusted host to the address of the network and set the netmask to the
netmask for the network. For example, to limit an administrator to accessing the
FortiGate unit from your internal network, set the trusted host to the address of your
internal network (for example, 192.168.1.0) and set the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
8
Change the administrator’s permission level as required.
9
Select OK.
10
To delete an administrator account, choose the account to delete and select
Delete
