Using System Partitioning to Limit Hardware Device

Hardware Manager Using System Partitioning to limit Hardware Devices Each device point in the system can be configured with System Partitioning. If System Partitioning is configured for an individual device point, that point will become unavailable / available for view and control system wide, for example: Point Status, Access Levels, Triggers and Macros, Device Groups / Areas and Graphic Maps. NOTE: By default all profiles are allowed to see and control all hardware points until System Partitioning has been applied to the operator profile allowing / disallowing access.
