| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution |
FortiGate administrator account only gets read-only access if FortiGate is managed by FortiManager, there is no option for sign in 'Login Read-Write'.
Note: This issue normally happens when FortiGate is managed by FortiManager and the post-banner message has been configured on the Firewall. For login banner configuration check this related document: How to configure login banner
Symptoms for this issue will be when the admin account attempts to log in to FortiGate and after successfully authenticated, post-login banner prompt however, the expected prompt pf 'Login Read-Write' is not displayed.
After agreeing on the post-login banner process to GUI, Admin users only obtain the read-only activity even profile assigned was administrator privilege This issue is marked as resolved in the v7.0.14 release notes, referring to this document: Resolved issues
The workaround for this issue will be to disable the post-login banner from the command line below:
config system global set post-login-banner disable end
Sign in again, the issue should be resolved |
