Solution
 Currently admin users only have below privilege level on FortiWLC Controller

1 (operator)     <----– Read only access to user.
10 (admin)       <----– User can create and delete SSID, add and delete FortiAP’s from SSID but cannot upgrade controller or FortiAP’s
15 (SuperUser)   <----– User can perform all function on controller including upgrade.

Currently there is no customized provision to restrict a particular user where user can create SSID but can’t add or delete FortiAP to that particular SSID.
