Virtual domain properties

A virtual domain has the following exclusive properties:

Virtual domains share the following global properties with other processes on the

FortiGate unit:

System settings,

Firewall policy objects (addresses, services, schedule, content profiles, and so on),

User information,

NIDS settings,

In addition to the global properties, virtual domains share a common administrative model. Administrators have access to all of the virtual domains on the FortiGate unit. Only their administrative access level varies.
