Fortinet FCP_FMG_AD-7.6: FortiManager ADOM Design

Administrative Domains, or ADOMs, are one of the decisions that determine whether FortiManager remains understandable as the number of managed FortiGate devices grows. It creates an administrative and policy boundary that affects which devices, objects, packages, administrators, and version context are managed together.

The best starting point is organizational responsibility and lifecycle. Devices that share administrators, policy standards, software lifecycle, and operational ownership often belong together.
