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.
Adding users or user groups to a partition
When you add users to a partition, you are specifying the users or user groups that have ownership of a partition.
It is the responsibility of the Asset Administrator to add users and user groups to partitions. The Security Policy Administrator only has permission to add groups, not users. For more information, see Administrator permissions.

- Click

If you do not see the user or user group you are looking for, depending on your Administrator permissions, you can create them in the Users or User Groups dialog. (You must have Authorizer Administrator or User Administrator permissions to create users or Security Policy Administrator permissions to create user groups.)
