System Settings

The System Settings tab enables you to manage and configure the basic system options for the FortiManager unit. This includes the basic network settings to connect the device to the corporate network, the configuration of administrators and their access privileges, managing and updating firmware for the device and configuring logging and access to the FortiGuard update service for updates.


	If the administrator account you logged on with does not have system tab privileges, you will not be able to edit or delete settings, or apply any changes. Instead you are limited to browsing. To modify these settings, see “Configuring administrator profiles”.
