Promote Objects (LOCAL > GLOBAL)

Administrators can promote an object from an ADOM to Global Database. This can be an object imported from a FortiGate device or created on FortiManager. Once the object is promoted to the Global Database, it can be reused by other ADOMs and need not be re-created.

To promote objects from ADOM to Global Database:

1. Go to Policy and Objects > Object Configurations.
2. Right-click an object and click Promote to Global.

   

3. Specify a new name in the Rename object(s) dialog. If you do not specify a new name, the object will be promoted with the same name which may create a conflict if the Global database already contains an object with the same name.
4. Click Promote. The object is now promoted to the Global Database.

   

5. Switch the ADOM to Global Database to verify the promoted object.
