Your User Role Controls What You Can See and Do
Command Line Interface (CLI, Console)
The following topics explain how to log into these interfaces and manage your user account.
Your User Role Controls What You Can See and Do
Your username is assigned a role, and your role determines what you can do or what you can see in the FDM.
The locally-defined admin user has all privileges, but if you log in using a different account, you might have
fewer privileges.
The upper-right corner of the FDM window shows your username and privilege level.
The privileges are:
• Administrator—You can see and use all features.
• Read-Write User—You can do everything a read-only user can do, and you can also edit and deploy
• Read-Only User—You can view dashboards and the configuration, but you cannot make any changes.
These privileges are not related to those available for CLI users.
Logging Into the FDM
Use the FDM to configure, manage, and monitor the system. The features that you can configure through the
browser are not configurable through the command-line interface (CLI); you must use the web interface to
implement your security policies.
Use a current version of the following browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge.

API sessions, which are represented by non-expired API tokens. If you exceed this limit, the oldest session,
either the device manager login or API token, is expired to allow the new session. These limits do not apply
to SSH sessions.
