Configure RBAC Roles

This guide explains how to assign RBAC roles to users in the Check Point Portal.

RBAC enables administrators to control which actions users can perform within the platform.

Available roles:

• Admin

• Security Manager

• Operator (NOC)

• Read Only

• Monitor Read Only

Permission Inheritance

If a user is assigned multiple roles, the highest permission level applies.

For example:

• A higher-privileged Global Role overrides lower service-role restrictions.

• When multiple service roles are assigned, the user receives the most permissive access available across those roles.
