Adding a Scope

Deleting Scopes
A scope indicates the resources the client can access on behalf of a resource owner. A scope consists of a name and one or more Integration Server folders, services, or both. If access is granted for a scope, then access is granted for all folders and services in that scope. You map the scope to a registered client to indicate the namespace resources the client can access on Integration Server. For more information about mapping scopes to clients, refer to Associating Scopes and Clients.
When a request is made to the authorization server, Integration Server verifies that the scope is defined for a client. The client is allowed to access only the namespace resources that are specified for the scope. If the requested scope is not defined, Integration Server returns an error indicating that the scope is invalid.
