Troubleshooting Tip: Automation option not seen for certain admin users despite allowing Access Permission for Security Fabric.

Description

This article describes why the Security Fabric -> Automation option does not show up for some admin users even after setting 'Read' or 'Read/Write' in the respective Admin Profile.

Scope

FortiGate v7.0.x, v7.2.x and v7.4.x.

Solution

Create a new Admin Profile and set the Access Permission for Security Fabric to 'Read' or 'Read/Write'. Create an admin user and map it to the newly created test_profile. 

The user will not be able to see the Automation option under 'Security Fabric'. 

This is because the Automation option is tied to the Access Permission of System. The option shows up only if the admin profile is granting the user 'Read' or 'Read/Write' for the System.

The admin user will be able to configure Automation under Security Fabric.

To customize this, select 'Read' or 'Read/Write' for Administrator Users under System -> Custom permissions.
