Description | This article describes how to fix an issue where other administrator accounts cannot be listed upon logging in to an administrator account with read-only privileges. This fix will allow the user to verify if FortiGate has any administrator accounts that can be used to make changes to the configuration. |
Scope | FortiGate v6.4, v7.0, v7.2, v7.4, v7.6 |
Solution |
In v6.4, v7.0, and v7.2, when logged into an administrator account with read-only privileges, other admin accounts with a different administrator profile assigned are not listed:
Go to ‘Admin Profiles’ under System to verify how many administrator accounts FortiGate has configured.
Select 'Reference' to see them as follows:
Log in to FortiGate using an ‘admin’ profile that has the ‘super_admin’ profile assigned to it:
It will now be possible to see all of the administrator profiles configured in FortiGate.
Note: This kind of behavior is also applicable to a 'prof_admin' administrator profile. In v7.4 and v7.6, it will not be possible to view any accprofile or account details that have a higher privilege than the current login profile. |
