Defining the contents of a partition

2026-10-15Last updated

To define the contents of a partition, add or remove entities from the partition. This creates the partition member list and determines which entities are included in the partition.

Before you begin

When you add an entity to or remove it from a partition's member list, Security Center SaaS automatically updates entities and related entities by applying partition member rules to keep them in the appropriate partition. Familiarize yourself with partition member rules.

Procedure

  1. In Genetec™ Configuration, open any administration task.
  2. (Optional) Click Show partition () or press F4 to display the partition entity tree.
  3. Select the partition to modify, and click the Properties tab.
    The entities that belong to the partition are displayed in the Members list.
  4. To add entities to the partition:
    1. Click Add ().
      The Search ​dialogue box appears.
    2. (Optional) Filter the list of entities using the options in the left panel.
    3. In the right panel, select the entities.
    4. Click Select.
  5. To remove entities from the partition:
    1. Select the entities from the Members list.
    2. Click Remove ().
    Tip:
    You can also change the content of partitions directly from the entity tree, using drag-and-drop to move entities, and Ctrl+drag-and-drop to copy entities.
The selected entities are added to or removed from the partition.

After you finish

Grant access rights to the partition. For more information, see Granting access rights for partitions.
