On FortiOS versions from 6.2.0 to 7.0.X a FortiGate administrator could configure the firewall to act in split-task VDOM mode.
More information regarding the particular feature can be found on the below KB:

From FortiOS 7.2.0+ GA releases the split task VDOM feature was removed and a new VDOM type named Admin was introduced. Important details regarding the new feature are:
1) There can be two types of VDOMs:
a) Admin type which can be only used for management access.
b) Traffic type which is used for passing traffic through the firewall.
2) Only one administrative VDOM can exist at a time.
3) Upon upgrade to 7.2.0+ releases if a FortiGate was configured in split-task VDOM mode, it will be automatically converted to multi VDOM mode.
a) The FG-traffic VDOM will now become a Traffic VDOM.
b) The root VDOM will now become an Admin type VDOM.
To configure the VDOM feature in CLI, enabling multi-VDOM mode is needed.
The following commands are used to enable multi-VDOM mode.
# config system global
set vdom-mode multi-vdom
end
You will be logged out for the operation to take effect.
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
Then, on the individual VDOM:
# config vdom
edit <Name_Of_The_VDOM>
config system settings
set vdom-type {traffic | admin}
end
