FortiCloud Organizational Units

FortiWeb Cloud now supports FortiCloud Organization. This centralized account management service consolidates multiple FortiCloud accounts into a structured system of Organization/Organizational Units (OUs).

To create an organization and invite member accounts to join:

In order to create an organization, you must have an active FortiCloud Premium contract in the Root account. If the contract is missing, expired, or soon to be expired, a warning message will appear, guiding the user to purchase the contract through a Fortinet Partner.

  1. Log in to the FortiCloud organization portal and click Create Organization. See Creating an organization for detailed instructions.

  2. Go to the Invitation Token page and click Generate Token. See Creating invitation tokens for more information.

  3. If applicable, manually send the generated token(s) to any member accounts, and ask them to follow the steps below to join your organization:

    1. Log into their FortiCloud account.
    2. Click Join Organization from the landing page.
    3. Enter the token you provided to the Invitation Token field along with other relevant information on each page of the Join Organization procedure.
  4. If needed, approve member accounts' join requests once they have entered the token(s) to join your organization. For more information, see Invitation Approval.

OU Admin

OU Admin users are IAM users with Permission Scope set to Organization. To understand the distinction between users with Local and Organization access types, see Permission scope with Organizations.

OU Admin abilities include transferring products between different OUs, and registering assets to member accounts. For help navigating your Asset Management portal, see Organizational Unit account views.
