Unable to adding fortigate firewall as a Ansible host

Question

I'm facing a problem while adding a Fortigate firewall as a Host machine to my Ansible Controller. Could anyone help with this issue? I have copied the id_rsa.pub key on Firewall but unable to ping that Firewall, getting an error like permission denied. I need to configure SNMP on Fortigate through Ansible, Once I fix this issue. Hope you people will help me in this issue.
