Adding or editing an administrator account
You can add, edit or delete a FortiAnalyzer administrator account, except the
default administrator admin administrator account.
When configuring the administrator’s information, you can add the @ symbol to
the administrator’s name. For example, jb@headquarters. The @ symbol is also
useful to those administrators who require RADIUS authentication.
To add or edit an administrator account

2 Select Create New.
3 Configure the following options and select OK.
Name The assigned name for the administrator.
Trusted Hosts The IP address and netmask of acceptable locations for the
administrator to log in to the FortiAnalyzer unit.
If you want the administrator to be able to access the
FortiAnalyzer unit from any address, use the IP address and
netmask 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0. To limit the administrator to only
access the FortiAnalyzer unit from a specific network or host,
enter that network’s IP and netmask.
