Remote access is only available for a device that has Management enabled and the management tunnel is up. In 23.3, a FortiGate device without a FortiGate Cloud subscription license that is running FortiOS 7.0 or later will have read-only remote access.

The template feature is discontinued, except for accounts that have a paid device license and template already in use.

When you access the Management tab for a new or newly factory reset device with no password configured, you must configure the device admin password to access the Management interface. To access the Management tab, select the desired device in Network Overview, then click Management. On the Management tab, you can remotely manage FortiGate and FortiWiFi devices that are connected to the FortiGate Cloud service.
