Description | This article describes that workspace mode allows administrators to make a batch of changes that are not implemented until the transaction is committed. |
Scope | FortiOS. |
Solution |
When an object is edited in workspace mode it is locked, preventing other administrators from editing that object. A warning message will be shown to let the administrator know that the object is currently being configured in another transaction. All administrators can use workspace mode; the permissions in workspace mode are the same as defined in the account profile.
A workspace mode transaction times out after five minutes if there is no activity. When a transaction times out, all changes are discarded. A warning message will be shown to let the administrator know that a timeout is imminent, or has already happened:
config transaction id=1 will expire in 30 seconds config transaction id=1 will expire in 20 seconds config transaction id=1 will expire in 10 seconds config transaction id=1 has expired
To use workspace mode:
execute config-transaction start
Once in workspace mode, the administrator can make configuration changes, all of which are made in a local CLI process that is not viewable by other processes.
