Check Point CCSA lab 4 of 14

Administrators, permission profiles and concurrent sessions

Give Northgate's operations team, auditors and helpdesk the access they need and no more: built-in and custom permission profiles, administrator accounts, testing each role, working with concurrent sessions and locks, and reading the audit log.

Run this lab

It needs Standard: its 3 nodes are set to 7 vCPU and 14,336 MB in total.

In your workspace: Shared, then Check Point CCSA guided labs, then 04 - Administrators permission profiles and concurrent sessions

Run it on Standard from £5 a day

The free demo can’t run it: it has 6 vCPU and 8 GB, and this lab’s nodes need 7 vCPU and 14,336 MB together. Every lab plan includes every guided lab.

The scenario

Until now everyone has used the built-in admin account. Northgate's audit found that unacceptable. Create personal accounts with the least privilege each job needs:

AdministratorPasswordWhoProfile
ops-adminOpsAdmin-2026!Firewall operations teamRead Write All
auditorAuditor-2026!External auditorRead Only All
helpdeskHelpdesk-2026!Helpdesk: may maintain host and network objects, may see but not change the rules, may not install policynew profile Helpdesk-Objects

What you’ll practise

  • Explain built-in permission profiles and create a customised profile
  • Create administrators and test what each profile allows
  • Handle concurrent sessions: locks, publish, discard and take-over
  • Find administrator actions in the audit log

The tasks

  1. The custom profile
  2. The administrators
  3. Test each role
  4. Concurrent sessions
  5. The audit trail

The Lab Tasks pane has the scenario, these tasks, the checks to run, hints and the full solution.

How to open this lab

  1. Sign in to your workspace at lab.cloudlabbox.com.

  2. In File Manager, open Shared, then the folder Check Point CCSA guided labs.

  3. Open 04 - Administrators permission profiles and concurrent sessions and start its nodes, then open Lab Tasks for the scenario and the steps.

The lab is read-only. You can start the nodes and configure the devices, but changes to the topology can’t be saved. To change it, rebuild it in your own folder.
