| Description |
This article describes that new IAM users will not be able to remote access the on-prem FortiGate via FortiGate Cloud and getting this error 'This FortiCloud IAM user does not have permission to sign in on this FortiGate'. |
| Scope | FortiGate, FortiCloud. |
| Solution |
The FortiGate can be configured to allow administrators to log in using the FortiCloud IAM user account. This option can be enabled on the FortiGate GUI under the System -> Settings -> FortiCloud SSO which will allow single sign-on login to the FortiGate using the FortiCloud IAM user account.
If the new IAM user is unable to log in to the FortiGate, showing a similar error as below, the possible cause of this issue is that the IAM user account does not have valid permissions to access the FortiGate.
To allow the login access to FortiGate using the IAM user account:
10. Log in to the FortiGate using the IAM user account.
Note: If the configuration is the same as described in this article and the FortiCloud SSO user account still shows as unauthorized, review whether the device license is set to 'Pay as you go'. At this time, 'Pay as you go' is not supported by FortiCloud SSO login. |
