Company Management

Company Management

Company system configuration, business unit and user management of FortiCASB.

In Company, these are the key functionality of Company management:

  • View License Purchased
  • Data Protection Usage
  • Company and Business Unit Configuration
  • User Management
  • Microsoft Entra ID AU (Administrative Unit) Management
  • Generate and Manage API Credentials

When you first log into FortiCASB, you are prompted to create a company, business unit(s), and users.

FortiCASB account permissions can have one of the following:

  • Administrator— can have full permissions, including the ability to create, access, assign companies and organizations.
  • Business users with full access— business users from FortiCloud who have been granted full access also have full permissions, including the ability to create, access, assign companies and organizations.
  • Business users with limited access— business users from FortiCloud who have been granted limited access can only view companies they are a part of.

If you are an administrator, continue to First Time Setup.

If you are a business user with limited access, not an administrator in charge of setup or a user with full access, skip to Switch between business units.

FortiCASB requires different setup procedures, depending on your organization's hierarchy and needs. A company with a branched hierarchy, such as a company with multiple branch offices or a compartmentalized organizational structure, will have different requirements than a company with only one unified office.
