Fortinet 3.0 MR7 Accessing ADOMs as the admin administrator, Assigning administrators to an Adom

Accessing ADOMs as the admin administrator Administrative Domains (ADOMs)

Accessing ADOMs as the admin administrator

When ADOMs are enabled, additional ADOM items become available to the admin administrator and the structure of the web-based manager menu changes. After logging in, other administrators implicitly access the subset of the web-based manager that pertains only to their ADOM, while the admin administrator accesses the root of the web-based manager and can use all menus. The admin administrator must explicitly enter the part of the web-based manager that contains an ADOM’s settings and data to configure items specific to an ADOM.

To access an ADOM

1Log in as admin.

Other administrators can access only the ADOM assigned to their account.

2In the Administrative Domains area, select the name of the ADOM you want to enter.

The ADOM-specific menu subset appears. While in this menu subset, any changes you make affect this ADOM only, and do not affect devices in other ADOMs or global FortiAnalyzer unit settings.

You can return to Administrative Domain Configuration by going to Main Menu.

Assigning administrators to an ADOM

The admin administrator can create other administrators and assign an ADOM to their account, constraining them to configurations and data that apply only to devices in their ADOM.

Note: By default, when ADOMs are enabled, existing administrator accounts other than admin are assigned to the root ADOM, which contains all devices in the device list. For more information about creating other ADOMs, see “Configuring ADOMs” on page 22.

To assign an administrator to an ADOM

1Log in as admin.

Other administrators cannot configure administrator accounts when ADOMs are enabled.

2Go to Global Configuration > System > Admin > Administrator.

3Configure the administrator account as described in “Adding or editing an administrator account” on page 49, selecting the Admin Domain that the administrator will be able to access.

Do not select Edit for the admin account. The admin administrator account cannot be restricted to an ADOM.
