When a user tries to access these FortiGuard categories, user will see the FortiGuard web page block first and there will be an option presented to proceed further. If the authentication is successful against this category, logs for this event can be checked under Log & Reports -> System Events -> User Events -> Filter: Log Description = FortiGuard authentication override successful

Raw log:

Similarly, if there is a failed authentication within the FortiGuard category, the event will be generated with the log description FortiGuard override failed.
