Event log when modify, crete, add or delete administration user

Hello team,

 

On Firewall FGT, When a user with administrative privileges is added\modified\removed on a Fortigate firewall is there a specific event that we find in the logs? Or is it something that needs to be manually enabled?

 

Thanks in advance

BR

Hello,

 

System event log is generated. You can find it by navigating GUI: Log & Report - Events - System events and search for string in the message "system."

Is this log ID still accurate as of 08/2024?

Those usually don't change, have you tested it and not getting the same log ID?

From a quick search it appears also in FortiOS 7.6.

I'm searching in FortiAnalyzer for add/delete events but when I look for this log id, I am getting different event types that are not related. I am searching across a time range where I know add changes were made (I was the one that added an account) but nothing relevant is coming up (I am seeing firewall policy edit events).
