C•CURE 800/8000 Software Configuration Guide - Tyco Security ...

Partitioning Overview• Included groups can include objects from any other partition.• Included clearances can include doors, time specs, and elevators fromany other partition.NOTEYou cannot change the partition of a $Standard Partition clearance.• $All groups - C•CURE 800/8000 provides special system-defined objectgroups with names in the format $All xxxx, $All Inputs or $All Outputs,for example. When you create a new security object, the appropriate $AllXXX group is automatically updated to include the new object. Thesegroups are dynamic and include all current objects of the particular type,regardless of partition.NOTEIn systems with more than one partition, $All groups for partitionedobjects can only be used by partition administrators.• $Default Record - C•CURE 800/8000 provides $Default records forpersonnel and all security objects. The $Default record is used to initializethe fields of a new person or security object. Each partition has its own$Default records. When a user creates a new person or object, the defaultrecord for their home partition is used to initialize the fields of the newperson or object. When a partition administrator adds a new person orobject to a partition other than their home partition, the default record fortheir home partition is used.• Object Names - Object names are unique system-wide. If you try to createan object in one partition with the same name as an object in anotherpartition, the system displays an error message.• Object Linking - Whenever an object is created in a partition other than$Standard Partition, that object may only reference other objects in thesame partition or in shared partitions.Example:A partition administrator cannot edit a clearance in partition A toinclude a door or time spec from partition B unless partition B isshared.However, if a clearance or a group is configured in the $Standardpartition, it may include objects from any partition.17–8 C•CURE 800/8000 Software Configuration Guide
