Figure 2: Web-based Manager
The Web-based Manager includes detailed online help. Selecting Help on the Navigation pane opens the online help.
The navigation pane and content pane information displayed to an administrator vary according to the administrator account settings and access profile that have be configured for that user. To configure admin profiles, go to System Settings > Admin > Profile. You can configure the admin profile at both a global and ADOM level with a high degree of granularity in providing read-write, read-only, or restricted access to various Web-based Manager modules. When defining a new administrator, you can further define which ADOMs and policy packages the administrator can access. For more information about administrator accounts and their privileges, see “Admin”.
When you log in to the FortiManager unit as the admin administrator, the Web-based Manager opens to the Device Manager tab. You can view all ADOMs in the navigation tree, and ADOM information in the content pane. For more information, see “Device Manager”.
 
Configuration changes made using the Web-based Manager take effect immediately without resetting the FortiManager system or interrupting service.
