VDOMs and ADOMs

FortiADC supports multi-tenancy and administrative separation through Virtual Domains (VDOMs) and Administrative Domains (ADOMs).

• VDOM (Virtual Domain)

  • Creates multiple independent FortiADC instances on a single device

  • Each VDOM has its own configuration, enabling multi-tenant deployments

  • Supports independent or shared networking modes

• ADOM (Administrative Domain)

  • Provides logical separation with shared infrastructure

  • Limits admin access to specific applications or configurations

• Role-based administration

  • Admins can be restricted to specific VDOM/ADOM only

  • Global admins manage all domains and system-wide settings
