Changing an administrator’s password

The admin administrator and administrators with read and write permissions can

change their own account passwords.

Administrators with read-only permissions cannot change their own password.
Instead, the admin administrator must change the password for them.

To change the administrator account password

1

Go to System > Admin > Administrators.

2

Select the Change Password icon.

3

Enter the old password for confirmation.

4

Enter the new password and confirm the spelling by entering it again.

5

Select OK.

Access Profile

Only the admin administrator has access to all configuration areas of a

FortiAnalyzer unit by default. Every other administrator must be assigned an
access profile.

Access profiles define administrator privileges to parts of the FortiAnalyzer
configuration. For example, you can have a profile where the administrator only
has read and write access to the reports, or assign read-only access to the
content archive logs.

You can create any number of access profiles. For each profile, you can define
what access privileges are granted. Administrator accounts can only use one
access profile at a time.

Access Profile

Select an access profile from the list. Access profiles define

administrative access permissions to areas of the configuration by

menu item. For more information, see

“Access Profile” on

page 50

.

Admin Domain

Select an administrative domain (ADOM) from the list. ADOMs

define administrative access permissions to areas of the

configuration and device data by device or VDOM. For more

information, see

“Administrative Domains (ADOMs)” on page 19

.

This option does not appear when ADOMs are disabled, or for the

admin administrator.
