Description This article describes how to limit concurrent login sessions from specific admin user on FortiManager.
Scope FortiManager
Solution

Depending on the use cases, it is maybe necessary to limit concurrent login sessions to FortiManager. This can be done by either:

  1. Limiting the total number of login sessions to FortiManager, regardless of which admin user is logging in/logged in: Technical Tip: How to limit concurrent admin logins in FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer
  2. Limiting the number of login sessions from specific admin user.

Note:

That option 1 applies to all admin accounts, while option 2 only applies to admin accounts that have their settings configured.

 

Via GUI:

Go to FortiManager -> System Settings -> Administrators, 'double-click/Edit the admin -> Advanced Options, and set the login-max to any number of login sessions allowed for the admin (by default, this is set to 32).

Via CLI, the following commands can be used to set the login-max settings from CLI:

 

config system admin user 

    edit <admin>

        set login-max <integer>

    next

end
