In FortiNAC-F, the Conference Manager is a specialized administrative role designed for delegated administration, often used by receptionists or event organizers to create temporary guest accounts. To maintain security and prevent the over-provisioning of credentials, FortiNAC-F allows for granular restrictions on these accounts.
According to the FortiNAC-F Administration Guide regarding Administrative Profiles, when an administrator creates a profile for a Conference Manager, they can define specific "Account Limits." Under the profile settings (located in System > Settings > Admin Profiles), there is a field specifically for "Max Accounts." By entering "30" into this field, the administrator ensures that any user assigned to this profile cannot exceed 30 active conference accounts at any given time.
This setting is distinct from the Portal configuration or the Guest templates. While templates define the type of account (e.g., duration and access level), the Administrative Profile defines the capabilities and limitations of the person creating those accounts. This ensures that even if a guest template allows for unlimited registrations, the specific administrator is physically restricted by the system from generating more than the allotted 30.
"Administrative Profiles define what an administrator can see and do within the system. For delegated administration roles like the Conference Manager, the 'Max Accounts' field in the Administrative Profile is used to specify the maximum number of accounts the user is permitted to create. Once this limit is reached, the user will be unable to generate additional accounts until existing ones expire or are deleted." - FortiNAC-F Administration Guide: Administrative Profiles and Delegated Administration.
