user local-user
Use this command to configure locally defined user accounts.
Local user accounts are used by the HTTP authentication feature to authorize HTTP requests. For details, see the
FortiWeb Administration Guide.
To incorporate local user accounts, add them to a user group that is selected within an authentication rule, which is in turn selected within an authentication policy. For details, see
“config user user-group”.
To use this command, your administrator account’s access control profile must have either
w or
rw permission to the
authusergrp area. For more information, see
“Permissions”.
