Hello,
Please find below some links that might help:

Configure Fortigate SSL VPN to use Azure AD as SAML IDP (MFA / Conditional Access)
https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Configuring-SAML-SSO-login-for-FortiGate/t...

According to Microsoft Azure documentation:

The number of groups emitted in a token is limited to 150 for SAML assertions and 200 for JWT, including nested groups. In larger organizations, the number of groups where a user is a member might exceed the limit that Azure AD will add to a token. Exceeding a limit can lead to unpredictable results. For workarounds to these limits, read more in Important caveats for this functionality.

To further investigate the debug log should provide more info:

diagnose debug application samld -1

diagnose debug application sslvpn -1

diagnose debug enable

There was a mistake in the claims attributes, now everything works as it should.
