When creating FortiGate administrative users, which configuration objects specify the account rights?

The correct choice in this scenario is focused on administrator profiles. In FortiGate devices, administrator profiles are specifically designed to define the rights and privileges of administrative users. These profiles determine what actions users can perform, such as configuring network settings, viewing logs, managing user accounts, and so forth. By assigning different administrator profiles, you can tailor each user's access according to their role within the organization, ensuring appropriate security levels and operational efficiency.

This structured approach allows organizations to maintain security by restricting administrative capabilities to only those necessary for each user, thereby minimizing the risk of unauthorized changes or access to sensitive information. Each profile can include various settings regarding passwords, session timeouts, and permissions associated with specific features in the FortiGate environment.

The other options, while relevant to user management and security, do not specifically delineate the account rights for administrative users. Remote access profiles are more aligned with VPN access settings for users, user groups categorize users for simpler management but do not define individual account rights on their own, and local-in policies pertain to policies for controlling access to the FortiGate itself based on incoming traffic rather than administrative privileges.
