    A while ago I've posted a batch command file (Windows) for creating a command file from a list of IPs. Maybe this can help: [link]https://forum.fortinet.com/tm.aspx?m=102532[/link]

    It shouldn't be too difficult to adapt this to creating local users and user groups. Note that there is a limit for the number of users per group (Maximum Values matrix).

     

    To get the correct syntax, create a backup textfile and search for "usergrp".
