Explanation — Why this answer?

A 401 Unauthorized error on the REST API of FortiEDR indicates that the user account (apiuser) does not have the required REST API role/permissions.

The credentials are correctly provided and the GET method is valid, so the issue is not related to the HTTP method or global API configuration, but rather to the account’s authorization level.

One of the most common issues reported is an unauthorized message when a new user tries to use the API for the first time. The reason for this is the password reset requirement. New users are forced to change their passwords the first time they log in to the management console.
The user should now be able to log in through the API. Alternatively, you can ask users to log in to the
management console and reset their password before using API calls.
