Policies and Objects

The Policies and Objects tab enables you to manage and configure the devices and clients that are managed by the FortiManager unit. This includes the basic network settings to connect the device to the corporate network, antivirus definitions, attack signatures, access rules, and managing and updating firmware for the devices.


	If the administrator account you logged on with does not have the appropriate privileges, you will not be able to edit or delete settings, or apply any changes. Instead you are limited to browsing. To modify these settings, see “Configuring administrator profiles”.
