# Create and allocate configurations

Create configurations and allocate them to child tenants.

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
   * Detection Rules → BIOC → **BIOC Rules Configuration** panel
   * Investigation → Exception Configuration → IOC/BIOC Suppression Rules → **IOC/BIOC Exceptions 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/onboard-cortex-xdr/multi-tenant/child-tenant-management/create-and-allocate-configurations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
