Partitions
Access Partitions are “containers” or “policies” on the basis of which permissions are established. Access Partitions are defined at project level and the access partitions of one project are totally independent of the access partitions of other projects in the same Visure database.
All elements of the project including items, attributes, documents, etc. need to belong to one and only one access partition.
In all projects, there is at least one access partition that is created by default when the project is created and that cannot be deleted. That is the Default access partition.
In this partitions tab, you will be able to manage partitions, creating, deleting and editing them:

IMPORTANT NOTE: A partition can be deleted from a project only if it does not contain any items, including items that may have been deleted from the project.
If there are any items that have been deleted from the project but belonged to the partition that you are trying to delete, the partition will not be deleted, and you will first have to destroy the items or reallocate them to another partition.
