Hi,
playing with profiles and have a question, I have few people who should have read only just to ONE inline layer. I can create profile, see below, and I am using this profile just in this layer. Anyway my user assigned to this profile can see other policies in read only because this way just limit write access. Is there a way how to change this behavior? and allow users to have read only just to one layer?
thx!
layer settings:

profile:

else policy settings:


Hi,
With Permissions Per Layer, you can either have:
- Show all policies and edit specific layers
- Show and edit all policies and layers
- Not see any security policy
You cannot limit users from seeing just some of the layers with R80.10 unfortunately.
One workaround that I can offer would be a self service portal which uses the API commands and limits specific users through that portal, but it won't be as part of SmartConsole.
Hope this helps.
Just to clarify your question: you only want to allow a specific user to read a specific layer, and not other layers that might be in use, correct?
As far as I know (and https://community.checkpoint.com/people/tomera5b2e7f3-09aa-32f8-96c2-f0f5bfa2988b should be able to confirm), this is not possible at the moment.

Hello Tomer,
back to this question.. do you have some self service portal code which can be shared and used as a template? I do not want to start from scratch you know ![]()
thx
ivo
thx
Is there any chance that this will be possible in future versions ?
Possibly, but can't commit ![]()
Is there anything new about this in R82?
As near as I can tell, this is still not possible in R82.
If you have this as a requirement, please bring it through your local Check Point office with an RFE.
