Creating the plugin role

Before you can configure and use the Genetec ClearID™ plugin, you must create the plugin role in Config Tool.

1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Plugins task.
2. In the Plugins task, click Add an entity (), and select Plugin.
   The plugin creation wizard opens.
3. On the Specific info page, select the server on which the plugin role is hosted, the plugin type, and the database for the plugin role, and then click Next.
   If you do not use expansion servers in your system, the Server option is not displayed.

   Important: The entry in the Database server field might default to the (local)\SQLEXPRESS setting. If this is not the correct server, choose the correct server from the Database server list.
4. On the Basic information page, specify the role information:
   1. Enter the Entity name.
   2. Enter the Entity description.
   3. Select the Partition for the plugin role.
      If you do not use partitions in your system, the Partition option is not displayed. Partitions are logical groupings used to control the visibility of entities. Only users who are members of that partition can view or modify the role.
   4. Click Next.
5. On the Creation summary page, review the information, and then click Create, or Back to make changes.
   After the plugin role is created, the following message is displayed: The operation was successful.
6. Click Close.
7. If you require multiple systems in your ClearID environment, repeat this procedure for each additional role that you require.
