Access to FortiGate via GUI from FortiManager

Hello everyone. I have the following question: Can I access a FortiGate from the FortiManager by GUI? If so, where do I find this option?

I thank you in advance for your attention.

No. The only options you have is the device manager/policy manager, which is FMG's GUI, not FG's.

You can access a FG via FortiCloud in this way.

You can also access a FG Via CLI from FM, so there must be a way. We are getting onto our account manager to get his sorted for us.

I don't think there is or will be a way. The FMG webUI effectively replaces the FGT webUI for managed firewalls.

What you are asking for is essentially for FMG to be a proxy for webUI sessions against FGTs, which is just not something that it does.

Your best bet would probably be to use readonly user accounts that permit directly connectivity to FGTs.
