Note

  • Running in workspace locking mode is supported in this FortiManager module, the top level parameters workspace_locking_adom and workspace_locking_timeout help do the work.

  • Full API reference: https://fndn.fortinet.net/index.php?/fortiapi/5-fortimanager

  • When all three parameters are given at the same time, json has higher priority over method&params.

  • Normally, running one module can fail when a non-zero rc is returned. you can also override the conditions to fail or succeed with parameters rc_failed and rc_succeeded
