Default Accounts

I have been tasked with removing all superfluous admin accounts.

When I log into our SMS I have 3 accounts listed: admin, monitor, and bashuser.

Admin is obviously the default admin account, and monitor is a default account too.

Is bashuser a default account, or did one of my predecessors make it? IE, can I delete it?

You should have only admin and monitor ... never seen a bashuser user defined.

I agree here with @simonemantovani . I personally had never seen bashuser there either.

Thanks, I deleted the account.

In the WebUI, yes, you should only see admin and monitor.
There are a couple of other default users that exist as well: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk98678
