Description
This article describes how in FortiOS v6 onwards security Profiles can be configured globally across multiple VDOMs, some or all profiles may be commonly-shared across VDOMS


Solution
Global profiles are configured under Global > Security Profiles in the GUI or
under the following config global commands in the CLI:
•    antivirus profile
•    application list
•    dlp sensor
•    ips sensor
•    webfilter profile

Global profiles are available for above security features only.

- The name for any global profile must start with "g-" for identification.
- Global profiles are available as read-only for VDOM-level administrators and can only be edited or deleted from within the global settings.
- Each security feature has at least one default global profile, available for all VDOMs.

Some security profile features, such as URL filters, are not available for use in a global profile.
1.    To edit the default global web filter, go to Global > Security Profiles > Web Filter and edit g-default.
2.    Right-click the Bandwidth Consuming category and select Block
