I was success integrated C9200 to Fortinac, but from yesterday i facing some random users is loss access / move to isolation network with below message in the log. I check from fortinac and the nac send access accept, also if i unplug and plug the lan cable then all is working fine. Anyone know this is switch configuration issue, nac issue or endpoint issue?

I think that you're dealing with an authentication/session state problem rather than a simple FortiNAC authorization problem.
Cisco documents that periodic reauthentication causes the switch to attempt authentication again according to the reauthentication timer.
For a single test port, I would temporarily remove periodic reauthentication, then leave the PC connected for a day and see whether the problem disappears.

I think the issue could be caused by the command "authentication violation restrict". Please try to remove and see if that fixes the issue.
