# curl -k -v -u "admin:<admin-api-key>"  https://192.168.x.x/api/v1/localusers/?format=json

1) Save the cURL script to a notepad.

Import the cURL script to Postman following the steps.

Then select 'Import'.
Once imported, a new tab will automatically will be created for the API Query.

Select on 'Send', and it will display the local users created on FortiAuthenticator.
