Greetings!


It depend upon the feature available in the forticlient. I would request to check in setting within the forticlient, then access the "Security Profiles" section where I think you can adjust web filtering options like category blocking, allowed sites, and scheduling.

 

If under the settings, it doesn't show security profile then you need to enable from EMS.

Thanks for the answer,

Unlock the settings first with the admin credential. If it shows a security profile then you can modify the webfilter. Otherwise, you need to enable it from EMS. Other then this, you don't have any other options.

The problem is that when I connect it to EMS, the unlock option disappears. Can I get it back through a setting in EMS?image.png

Dhruvin_patel

Yes when a FortiClient endpoint is connected to FortiClient EMS, certain settings—including the Unlock option—can be controlled by the EMS administrator. If the Unlock option disappears after connecting to EMS, it is likely due to a profile or policy enforced by EMS.

This is exactly my problem, the question is how do I change this in EMS, what setting to change?

If you want to change some settings for one or a specific set of users, you should group them in EMS and assign them a new policy/profile.
