Hi FGT admins

Today I saw 2 FortiGate physical appliances, with FortiOS 7.2.10, having a strange admin that I've never seen before on any other FGT.

On first FGT:

On other FGT:

What is this account user for? Or should this be removed?

Hello @AEK 

 

This account is used by FortiCloud to push geolocation information to the FortiGate as described in the documentation below:

The user can be deleted manually on the FortiGate side.

Hello Bretas

Thanks for the response.

I don't understand why Geolocalization info is pushed to FGT.

If I delete this account, will it impact anything?

Hello @AEK 

Did you delete these accounts and, if so, was there any impact?

Thanks!
