One of major features in R80 SmartConsole is concurrent administration. Which of the following is NOT possible considering that AdminA, AdminB, and AdminC are editing the same Security Policy?

Why each option

R80 SmartConsole supports concurrent administration, but individual rules are locked to a single editor at a time, preventing two admins from editing the same rule simultaneously.

AA lock icon shows that a rule or an object is locked and will be available.

A lock icon indicating a rule or object is locked and will become available is a real and intended feature of R80 SmartConsole concurrent administration.

BAdminA and AdminB are editing the same rule at the same time.Correct

In R80 SmartConsole, when an administrator begins editing a rule, that rule is locked and unavailable to all other administrators until it is released. This means AdminA and AdminB cannot edit the exact same rule at the same time - the first admin to open the rule holds the lock, and others must wait.

CA lock icon next to a rule informs that any Administrator is working on this particular rule.

The lock icon next to a rule correctly informs other administrators which rule a specific admin is currently editing, which is a valid SmartConsole concurrent-session feature.

DAdminA, AdminB and AdminC are editing three different rules at the same time.

Multiple administrators editing different rules simultaneously is the core use case for R80 concurrent administration and is fully supported.
