Partitions Overview

Partitions are a way to limit the Devices/Doors, People, and Groups that specific Managers and Reporters on a Customer Account can manage. This allows those Managers and Reporters to only view and manage their location, department,  different floors within a building, individual businesses in a multi-tenant office building, or selected Devices/Doors on a Customer Account. The Permissions for Integrator and Admin can grant access to Partitions to Managers and Reporters.

Click the Partitions icon in the Customer Dashboard to add, view, or edit Partitions. Previously created Partitions are listed in alphanumeric order. 

To create a new Partition, click the yellow plus (+) icon in the lower-right corner of the Partitions page.

Name - Enter a descriptive name for the partition and tap/click Add.

The Partition screen will then be displayed for the newly created partition.

User Accounts

For an existing partition, any previously added users are listed. To add Partners with access to PDK.io to a Partition, tap/click the yellow plus (+) icon next to User Accounts. 

The available user names in the User Accounts dialogue are those Permissions added to the Customer Account. Tap/click the checkbox next to the Partner's name and tap/click Add.

Devices

To add devices that a Manager will be able to manage, tap/click the yellow plus (+) icon next to Devices. The Devices/Doors on the Customer Account will be displayed. Tap/click the checkbox next to the devices to be added to the Partition, then tap/click Add.

For an existing partition, any previously added devices will be listed and additional devices can be added using the steps above. To remove a Device/Door from the Partition, this can be done in two ways:

• Tap/click the yellow plus (+) icon next to Devices, then tap/click the checkbox to remove the checkmark. Then tap/click Add.
• In the Partition, tap/click the Device name to remove the Device.

Once Devices have been added to a Partition, the Devices will be separated by the connected Cloud Node, allowing an Integrator or Admin to ensure the Manager or Reporter only has access to Devices at their location.
