Scopes

Scopes define visibility of user-defined business data objects throughout the VSA. For example, a user could see some machine groups, but not be able to see other machine groups. Once a scope has made a data object visible to a user, the functions the user can perform on that data object are determined by user role. Scopes enables VSA users responsible for user security to create different scopes of data objects and assign them to different populations of users. Each user account must be assigned to at least one role and one scope and can have multiple roles and scopes.
