Why each option
In Check Point Gaia, only one administrator can hold the database lock at a time, preventing concurrent configuration changes.
Gaia does not automatically log out existing administrator sessions when a new administrator logs in - both sessions can coexist simultaneously.
Even though they are using different interfaces, only one administrator can hold the database write lock at a time, so both cannot make changes concurrently.
Check Point Gaia uses a database locking mechanism to prevent simultaneous configuration changes by multiple administrators. When Bob logs in via WebUI and acquires the database lock, Joe logging in via CLI will be placed in read-only mode and cannot commit changes until the lock is released. This ensures configuration consistency and prevents conflicting modifications.
Check Point Gaia does not natively send a prompt or notification to the logged-in administrator when another administrator logs in.
