To divide your system into smaller, manageable parts, and hide some of those parts from
certain users, you can create partitions.
What you should know
The first partition you create is always added to the root partition. Subsequent
partitions you create are added to the partition you select in the entity tree. If none are
selected, the system will ask you to specify under which partition you want to create the new
partition.
To create a partition:
-
From the Config
Tool home page, do one of
the following:
- Open the User management task, click Add an
entity (
), and then click
Partition.
- Open any administration task, click , or click More (
) beside the Add () button, and then click
Partition.
-
If a partition is selected in the entity tree before you click
Add, then the new partition is immediately created under the
selected partition.
-
Enter the name of the New partition.
-
In the Identity tab, enter the partition description.
-
If no partition was selected in the entity tree before you click
Add, then the Create partition wizard
opens.
-
On the Basic information page, enter the name and description
of the new partition.
-
From the Partition drop-down list, select the parent
partition that this new partition should belong to.
The new partition is created.
-
If you already have entities ready to be added to the new partition, add them now.
-
If users and user groups are already created in your system, grant access rights for the new
partition to those who need it.
The
partition is created.
New
entities that you create can be added directly into the partition.
