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.
