Technical Tip: Admin account can be pushed from FortiManager to FortiGate

Login to FortiManager -> Devicemanager -> Device & Group -> Select the managed FortiGate.

In this case, (Krish) is the managed FortiGate device name.

Create a new admin account.

Fill in the user information that is required for the super admin account.

On managed FortiGate, this super admin account is not present.

After creating the user information, select Install Wizard and then Install Device Settings Only.

Select the managed FortiGate to which the new admin account is to be pushed.

After this FortiManager will check the connection between FortiGate and FortiManager.

Select install. This installation will not require the FortiGate device to reboot in order for the applied configuration to take effect. If the installation is successful, the new super admin account will be visible on FortiGate.

Now the new admin account was visible on FortiGate.
