Troubleshooting Tip: Read-Only user prompted with ‘Login Read-Write’ option after FortiGate upgrade to v7.6.4

In FortiOS v7.6.3, a user configured with the super_admin_readonly profile is presented with only two options when attempting to log in to a FortiGate managed by FortiManager.

After upgrading to FortiOS v7.6.4, the same user sees an additional option, Login Read-Write, alongside the other two.

Selecting Login Read-Write does not grant write access. The user cannot make configuration changes through either the GUI or CLI.

This issue has been resolved in:

v7.6.5 (available to download from the Fortinet Support portal). Refer to bug ID 1220854 in the Resolved issues

v8.0.0 (scheduled to be released in April 2026).
These timelines for firmware release are estimated and may be subject to change.
