Adding a system

2024-08-23Last updated

Before you can connect the Genetec ClearID™ plugin role to your ClearID account, you must add your Security Center systems to ClearID.

Before you begin

What you should know

  • To create systems in ClearID, you must be a Global administrator.

Procedure

  1. Log on to your ClearID account.
  2. From the Dashboard, click Administration > Add system .
    Note: The Data center region option is not available for accounts deployed in regional architectures, such as Europe-only, Canada-only, or Australia-only data centers.
  3. In the Add system dialog box, complete all the fields:
    1. Enter a system name.
      Tip: Use a system name that represents the name of the account and the associated data center region. For example, GenetecEuropeSC.
    2. From the Data center region list, select a region that applies to the geographical location of your system or where you want data stored.
    3. If you want ClearID to populate cardholder and credential fields automatically, select Genetec ClearID™: Cardholder and credential changes are synchronized back to Security Center.
      This is the default option.
    4. If you want to manage cardholder and credential fields manually, select Security Center: Cardholders and credentials in ClearID are read-only.
    5. Select the checkbox to accept the terms of service, and click Save.
Your new system is created. The system remains inactive until you download an activation file and register the ClearID plugin.
