Technical Tip: FortiManager in WorkFlow mode does not show modifier/approver

Description

This article describes an issue seen in FortiManager version 7.2.11 where the modifier and approver are not displayed in workflow mode.

For details about workflow mode, see Workflow mode.

Scope FortiManager.
Solution

Users can log in to FortiManager to make configuration changes and submit changes for approval. 

Approvers can check what the changes are and who made those changes upon logging in to FortiManager. 

The approver can then approve or reject the changes, and it is recorded in the 'Session List'. 

 

Example:

 

FMG_Approver_details_showing_7.0.png

 

In FortiManager v7.2.11, the modifier and the approver just show 'admin' and not the actual username.

This is a bug and is resolved in FortiManager v7.4 and above.
