Specific Scope:TheSettings administratoris a specialized role designed to haveaccess to the global site only.
Permissions:This role can access all configuration options on the global site, with the notable exception ofadministrator configuration(they cannot create or manage other admin accounts).
Use Case:This is typically used for auditors or system managers who need to oversee global-level configurations without needing access to specific endpoint data within individual sites or the power to modify administrative users.
2. Comparison with Other Multitenancy Roles
Super administrator:This role hasunlimited accessto the global site andall other siteswithin the EMS instance.
Site administrator:This role is restricted tospecified sites onlyand hasno access to the global site.
Standard administrator (Answer C):This is a generic role level within a site or a single-tenant environment but is not the role that defines "global-only" access in a multitenant setup.
Tenant administrator / Global administrator:While these terms are common in general IT, FortiClient EMS documentation specifically uses the titlesSuper,Settings, andSiteadministrators for multitenancy management.
3. Curriculum References
