Reference of admin in IPSEC VPN

[fortiFWuser]

Hello, 

I am trying to delete an IPSEC Tunnel

I see a reference of an admin user. In the details the below is highlighted 

gui-dashboard.0.widget.6.interface

So I think that the user has created a widget in the dashboard. 

How could I delete it in order to erase the Tunnel?

Thanks and regards, 

Konstantinos

Hello there :

You can go to the GUI, Navigate to Dashboard ---> Status -----> Find out the widget that has been referenced----> you will find 3 dots in the top right corner of the widget with a small dropdown.  When you click on that, you will see an option for "Remove". See attached. Hope that helps!

Hello 

Thank you for the reply!

The thing is that as an admin I do not see that widget. 

The user only can remove it.

There's a trick to it, as the CLI config for dashboards is usually hidden.

If you have permissions to edit the other admin, do the following:

config system admin
edit <admin-username>
config gui-dashboard #type it out; it is hidden and does not autocomplete!
show
...

Once you're within the gui-dashboard section, you should be able to see the entire config and modify it as desired. (delete the reference to the IPsec tunnel)

You could also consider raising this up in a support ticket. Personally, I would consider the scenario where a dashboard widget blocks deletion interface to be undesirable/bug.
