How are multiple remote admin accounts managed when using a wildcard admin account?

When utilizing a wildcard admin account in Fortinet devices, the primary benefit is that it allows multiple remote admin accounts to be matched to a single local admin account through the wildcard settings. This enables flexibility in admin account management by allowing a broader range of user accounts to access the FortiGate device while still being controlled under the same local account credentials.

With wildcard configurations, an administrator can specify patterns that match multiple usernames, facilitating easier management and reducing the administrative overhead that comes with tracking each individual account separately. This means that instead of creating and managing numerous local accounts for each remote user, the administrator can use the wildcard account setting to apply broader access rights and streamline how remote access is governed.

The concept enhances security by allowing centralized management and potentially simplifies the process of user account management, providing oversight while maintaining a robust access control structure.
