What permission level is required to configure ADOMs?

To configure ADOMs (Administrative Domains) in FortiAnalyzer, a Super User permission level is required. This is because managing ADOMs involves significant administrative responsibilities such as creating, modifying, and deleting ADOMs, which directly impacts the organizational hierarchy and the management of resources within the FortiAnalyzer environment.

A Super User has extensive privileges that allow for full access to all configurations within the system. This access is essential for tasks involving the segmentation of data and configurations that ADOMs provide, as they are designed to allow different administrative domains to operate independently within the same FortiAnalyzer unit. The flexibility and control offered by ADOMs are crucial for organizations with multiple departments or customer accounts that require distinct operational boundaries.

Lower permission levels like Viewer, Administrator, and Guest do not have the appropriate rights to perform these tasks. The Viewer role is primarily for viewing logs and reports without making any changes, while Administrator roles may have various permissions but do not encompass the full range of capabilities granted to a Super User, especially concerning ADOM management. The Guest role typically allows minimal access, usually limited to viewing specific information, making it unsuitable for configuration tasks.
