NSE 8 – Network Security Expert — Question 10

You are an administrator of FortiGate devices that use FortiManager for central management. You need to add a policy on an ADOM, but upon selecting the
ADOM drop-down list, you notice that the ADOM is in locked state. Workflow mode is enabled on your FortiManager to define approval or notification workflow when creating and installing policy changes.
What caused this problem?

Answer options

• A. Another administrator has locked the ADOM and is currently working on it.
• B. There is pending approval waiting from a previous modification.
• C. You need to use set workspace-mode workflow on the CLI.
• D. You have read-only permission on Workflow Approve in the administrator profile.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because having read-only permission on Workflow Approve prevents you from making changes to the ADOM. Option A is incorrect as it suggests another administrator is actively working on the ADOM, which does not apply if your issue is due to permissions. Option B is not applicable as it refers to previous modifications rather than your current permission level. Option C is irrelevant since the issue lies in permissions, not in the workspace mode configuration.
