Description This article describes the typical circumstances behind the 'Entry Change'.
Scope FortiAuthenticator.
Solution

Event ID 10002 refers to a log entry change event that was performed through the Graphical User Interface (GUI). This indicates that an admin-privileged user manually changed or edited a log entry using the system’s frontend interface, rather than via automated scripts or backend processes. The remote user sync rules would for be logged with ID 30303, for example.


This log entry does not capture any subsequent actions such as adding or removing entries. It serves as a record of user-initiated 'change/edit' actions for auditing and traceability. It is worth mentioning that assigning FortiTokens to local/remote users will also fall under the edit/change category.

 

The system event message(s) will look like the following:

 

  1. Edited Remote SAML user:
