Partitions

Partitions are a way to allow a User with a Permission Role of Manager or Reporter to access only those People, Groups, Rules, and other options available in the Customer Account for which they are assigned management duties. This is commonly the building location, one or more floors within a building, department, individual tenants in a multi-tenant building, or other selected Devices/Doors on a Customer Account. The Permissions for Integrator and Admin can grant access to Partitions to Managers and Reporters.

Previously created Partitions are listed in alphanumeric order. Deleting a Partition can be done by mousing over or long pressing the Partition to be deleted and then tapping or clicking the garbage can icon in the upper right corner of the Partition boundary. The Default Partition cannot be deleted.

To create a new Partition, first tap or click on the Add Partition button in the Partitions window. This is located next to the Search Partitions field and above any existing Partitions on the Customer Account. This will pop out a sidebar where you can enter the information for the new Partition.
Partition Name - Enter a descriptive name for the Partition in this field. This is a required field and can not be left blank. Members - Tapping or clicking the Edit Users button will open an additional sidebar over the Partition creation sidebar where Users with Permissions for the Customer Account can be added to manage the Partition. After tapping/clicking on the selected User(s) and highlighting them, tap or click the Save button below the list of Users to add them to the new Partition and return to the Partition creation sidebar.
Devices - Tapping or clicking the Edit Devices button will open a sidebar over the creation sidebar where Devices on the Customer Account can be added for management in the Partition. After tapping or clicking on the selected Device(s) and highlighting them, tap or click the Save button below the list of Devices to add them to the new Partition and return to the Partition creation sidebar.
After naming the new Partition and adding the managed Users and Devices to the Partition, tap or click the Save button in the bottom right corner of the sidebar menu to complete adding the new Partition to the Customer Account.

After a Partition has been created, tapping or clicking on the name of a Partition will display a sidebar menu where the Name, Members, Devices, and Custom Fields (if used) in the Partition can be edited. Please note that the Default Partition can not be renamed.

The Partition Name, Members, and Devices fields work identically to when initially adding the Partition to the Customer Account.

Custom Fields - To add a custom field to People in the Partition, tap or click the Create Custom Field button to open the Custom Fields window.
