Changing administrative access to your FortiGate unit
Through administrative access an administrator can connect to the FortiGate unit to view
and change configuration settings. The default configuration of your FortiGate unit allows
administrative access to one or more of the interfaces of the unit as described in your
FortiGate unit QuickStart Guide and Install Guide.
You can change administrative access by:
• enabling or disabling administrative access from any FortiGate interface
• enabling or disabling securing HTTPS administrative access to the web-based
manager (recommended)
• enabling or disabling HTTP administrative access to the web-based manager (not
recommended)
• enabling or disabling secure SSH administrative access to the CLI (recommended)
Note: You can also add new administrator accounts by selecting Create New. For more
information about adding administrators, changing administrator account passwords and
related configuration settings, see “System Admin” on page 209.
