Restricting administrator access to ADOMs

When you create an administrator account, you can specify which ADOMs that users of the account can access. This topic describes the different methods you can use to restrict access.

To create an administrator account and specify ADOM access:
  1. Go to System Settings > Administrators.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Beside Administrative Domain, click Specify, and then select the ADOMs that the administrator account can access.

    For example, select only the root and 56 ADOMs.

  4. Set the remaining options, and click OK.

    When the administrator logs in to FortiManager, they can only access the specified ADOMs. In this example, the specified ADOMs are root and 56.

To create an administrator account and exclude access to specific ADOMs:
  1. Go to System Settings > Administrators.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Beside Administrative Domain, click All ADOMs except specified ones, and then select the ADOMs that you do not want the administrator account to access.

    In this example, the root and 56 ADOMs are excluded from access.

  4. Set the remaining options, and click OK.

    When the administrator logs in to FortiManager, they can access all ADOMs except for the ones specified. In this example, they can access all ADOMs except root and 56.
