Removing assets from a partition
You cannot remove assets from a partition.
You can reassign the asset to another partition either from the scope of the other partition or from an asset's General properties. For more information, see Assigning an asset to a partition.
When you associate an asset to a partition, all the accounts associated with that asset, are also added to the scope of that partition. For more information, see About profiles.
