Solution

To make this procedure work, it is necessary to create a folder in the 'Asset management' page and create an IAM user with access to this folder.

 

Note: The IAM folder permission is only supported on the New Layout. Only the Master User Account can toggle between the layouts. Ensure the New Layout is enabled before starting this process (log in to https://login.forticloud.com/).
