# Create and allocate configurations

To manage security actions on behalf of your child tenant, you need to first create and allocate an action configuration.

1. Navigate to each of the following Cortex XDR pages and follow the detailed steps:
   * **Incident Response** → **Incident Configuration** → **Alert Exclusions** → **Alert Exclusions Configuration** panel
   * **Incident Response** → **Incident Configuration** → **Starred Alerts** → **Starred Alerts Configuration** panel
   * **Endpoints** → **Policy** **Management** → **Prevention** → **Profiles** → **Profile Configuration** panel
   * **Incident Response** → **Response** → **Action** **Center** → **Currently Applied Actions** → **Block List/Allow List** → **Allow List/Block List** configuration panel
2. In the corresponding Configuration panel, **+ Create New** configuration.
3. Enter the configuration **Name** and **Description**.
4. **Create**.

   The new configuration appears in the **Configuration** pane.
5. Navigate to **Settings** → **Tenant Management**.
6. In the **Tenant Management** table, right-click a child tenant row and **Edit Configurations**.
7. Assign the configuration you want to use to manage each of the security actions.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><h3>Note</h3><p>You can configure <strong>Profiles</strong> only as <strong>Managed</strong> or <strong>Unmanaged</strong>. All profiles you create are automatically cloned to your child tenants.</p></div>
8. **Update**.

   The **Tenant Management** table is updated with your assigned configurations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-3.x/cortex-xdr-3.x-documentation/multi-tenant/child-tenant-management/create-and-allocate-configurations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
