Frequently asked questions

What should I do when I upgrade or replace a FortiGate or FortiGate VM managed by FortiManager?

Use the following procedure to upgrade the FortiGate or FortiGate VM OS version (in some cases, the FortiGate VM license might be new and will have a different serial number):

1. Upgrade the version of FortiGate or FortiGate VM.
2. In FortiManager, update the ADOM version on FortiManager.
3. Poll from FortiPortal.

There will be polling issues if you create a new ADOM with the latest version, move the device to the new ADOM, and then delete the old ADOM. Use the recommended procedure instead.

I can see data in the dashboard as a site administrator but not as user. How do I fix this?

Click the Users tab when editing an Organization, select a user, and then click Edit. Check if the user has permission to view information related to all sites and the devices associated with those sites.

For example, a user might not have access to a device that is associated with the site. The site administrator can view the device because a superuser can access all devices and sites.
