Administrative Domains : Enabling and disabling the ADOM feature
 
Enabling and disabling the ADOM feature
To enable or disable the ADOM feature, you must be logged in as the admin administrator. Only this user has the ability to enable or disable this feature.
 
The ADOMs feature cannot be disabled if ADOMs are still configured and listed and they still have devices managed within them.
 
ADOMs must be enabled to support FortiMail and FortiWeb logging and reporting. When a FortiMail or FortiWeb device is promoted to the DVM table, the device is added to their respective default ADOM and will be visible in the left tree menu.
 
FortiGate and FortiCarrier devices cannot be grouped into the same ADOM. FortiCarrier devices are added to a specific default FortiCarrier ADOM.
To enable the ADOM feature:
1. Log in as admin.
2. Go to System Settings > Dashboard.
3. In the system information widget, select Enable next to Administrative Domain

After removing the ADOMs, you can now disable the ADOM feature.
3. Go to System Settings > Dashboard.
