Time-based administrator login access

Is it possible to configure a time-based administrator user access in FortiGate?

For example: an administrative user must be able to login the firewall device from 9 am to 11 am. Beyond 11 am, the login access should be disabled

Hi h007robin，

Based on existing options in FortiGate administrator setting, the schedule option can help. Detail is included in document: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Configure-a-schedule-for-FortiGate-administrator/ta-p/388195

        You can do time based restrictions if you spin up Entra ID Domain Services, which is basically Active Directory as a cloud service. This lets you configure the typical Active Directory restrictions for your cloud only accounts. However, I'm not sure how this would interact with PIM outside of those restricted time periods https://mobdro.bio/ .
