Managing realms

Managing realms

In FortiIdentity Cloud, a realm is a container that has a set of users that can be referenced to other users in the same realm and can be controlled by the same realm settings, including MFA method and adaptive auth profile. With realms, admin users can control settings such as user quota and MFA method. FIC comes with a default realm for your convenience.

The Realms page shows information about the realms under your management. It also provides tools for managing realms. If you are a global admin, you can see all realms assigned to all sub-admin groups in your account; if you are a sub-admin user, you can see the realms assigned to your sub-admin group only.

You can open the Realms page by clicking User Management > Realms.

The following table highlights the information on the Realms page.
