FortiGate Cloud SSO admin

Hi FGT admins

Today I saw 2 FortiGate physical appliances, with FortiOS 7.2.10, having a strange admin that I've never seen before on any other FGT.

On first FGT:

On other FGT:

What is this account user for? Or should this be removed?

Hello AEK 

 

This account is used by FortiCloud to push geolocation information to the FortiGate as described in the documentation below:

The user can be deleted manually on the FortiGate side.

Hello Bretas

Thanks for the response.

I don't understand why Geolocalization info is pushed to FGT.

If I delete this account, will it impact anything?
