Question

Fortigate RBAC

is it possible on Fortinet to get only access to SDWAN using RBAC?

Means Users should only access SDWAN module and not the other team will manage the Firewall policies.

 

Is it achievable in Fortigate?

Regards,

Sanjay S

Not sure what you mean by "RBAC". There isn't a specific permission for SDWAN, you best bet would be to give them 'Network' permissions but this is probably wider than you want.

Hi,
You could create admin profiles with similar permissions to what you would need, described below in the link, at least for the firewall policy part.

SD-WAN part would be in the Network menu, I would guess.

SD-WAN configuration is part of the "Network" (CLI: netgrp) permissions. Note that this also covers interface configuration, routing, etc.

Firewall policy configurations are controlled by the "Firewall" (fwgrp) permissions.
