Viewing, editing and deleting user groups

To view the list of FortiGate user groups, go to User & Device > User > User Groups.

 

Editing a user group

When editing a user group in the CLI you must set the type of group this will be — either a firewall group, a Fortinet Single Sign-On Service group (FSSO), a Radius based Single Sign-On Service group (RSSO), or a guest group. Once the type of group is set, and members are added you cannot change the group type without removing the members.

In the web-based manager, if you change the type of the group any members will be removed automatically.

 

To edit a user group – web-based manager:

1. Go to User & Device > User > User Groups.

2. Select the user group that you want to edit.

3. Select the Edit button.

4. Modify the user group as needed.

5. Select OK.

 

 

To edit a user group – CLI example:

This example adds user3 to Group1. Note that you must re-specify the full list of users:

config user group edit Group1

set group-type firewall

set member user2 user4 user3 end
