To organize and manage access to system resources in Security Center, you can use a container called a partition
to group related assets, such as buildings, equipment, cameras, imported data collected in the
fields, and so on.
What you should know
It is considered a best practice to create a special partition for low-privileged
operators that only need to view video. To strictly control access rights, assign camera
entities to that partition without assigning their associated video unit entities. You can
then control which users or user groups can access each partition.
Procedure
-
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, 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, the Create partition wizard
opens.
-
On the Basic information page, enter the name and description
of the new partition.
-
From the Partition 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.
-
If users and user groups are already created in your system, grant access rights for
the new partition to those who need it.
