FortiMail management methods
After you install the FortiMail unit, you can configure and manage it with either of:
• the web‑based manager
• and/or the command line interface (CLI)
 
The CLI is only available to administrator accounts whose Domain is System. It is not available to domain (tiered) administrator accounts. For more information on domain administrators, see “About administrator account permissions and domains”.
Depending on the FortiMail unit’s model number, you may also be able to reset the configuration and to configure basic settings such as operation mode and IP addresses using the buttons and LCD on the front panel. For details, see “Configuring system options”.
 
This Administration Guide describes the web UI. For equivalent documentation of the CLI, see the FortiMail CLI Reference.
