Administrative Domains : Managing ADOMs : Assigning administrators to an ADOM
 
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.
 
By default, when ADOMs are enabled, existing administrator accounts other than admin are assigned to the root domain, which contains all devices in the device list. For more information about creating other ADOMs, see “Assigning devices to an ADOM”.
To assign an administrator to an ADOM
1. Log in as admin.
Other administrators cannot configure administrator accounts when ADOMs are enabled.
2. Go to System Settings > Admin > Administrator.
3. Configure the administrator account, and select the Admin Domains that the administrator account will be able to use to access the FortiManager system.
 
Do not select Edit for the admin account. The admin administrator account cannot be restricted to an ADOM.
