Windows and macOS both offer FortiManager. Choose FortiManager and enter its address, credential (an API key, or a username and password) and workspace token.

Manager and managed devices

Reads include available manager settings, ADOMs, devices, policy packages and managed configurations. FortiManager Cloud uses its FortiCloud IAM identity flow, not a FortiGate token. FortiAnalyzer is a separate product.
