Multi-realm Mode

FortiToken Cloud comes with a default realm. By enabling Multi-realm Mode, the global admin can create custom realms and associate them with applications to better allocate and manage applications and end-users.

By design, Multi-realm Mode is enabled for new FTC customers, but disabled for customers who started their FTC service before the FOS 6.2.3 release. When Multi-realm Mode is disabled, new applications are assigned to the default realm; when multi-realm mode is enabled, new applications registered in FTC are automatically assigned to a new realm.

While there is no need for new customers to enable Multi-realm Mode, existing customers must enable it to take advantage of its benefits. When Multi-realm Mode is enabled, you can create custom realms and assign applications to them. You must assign an application to a custom realm to add users to and sync users from it. Otherwise, it will be assigned to the default realm where you cannot assign users to or sync users from it.

Even if your applications support the "pre-generated applications" feature and Multi-realm Mode is enabled, you cannot add users to or sync users from pre-generated applications until/unless the global admin has associated them with a realm.
