Scope Management

Select Database Management - Activation from the home page or Scopes from the side navigation pane to access the Scope Management page.

View available scopes

The Scope Management page shows the available scopes.

You can arrange the scopes in Stack View, Card View, Alphabetical View, or NSF View. There is also a provision to search through the list either via Scope Name or NSF Name.

Add a scope

Tip

A scope points to a schema that's contained in a database. A database can have many schemas for different use cases and a schema can be pointed to by more than one scope.

1. On the Scope Management page, click Add Scope to add a database.

   

2. Under Available Schema, select the schema that the scope will belong to.

3. Under Add New Scope, fill in the form and click Add.

Note

You can set the Maximum Access Level of the scope to control the maximum access anyone using the scope should have. This prevents an app, which has inherited a user's access rights when the user grants app access, from unauthorized altering of schemas or access control lists. By default, the set maximum access level is Editor. To know more about what each access level allows and to whom the access level is assigned, see Access levels in the ACL.

Edit a scope

1. On the Scope Management page, click the scope that you want to edit.
2. In the Edit Scope pane, edit the details that you want to change.
3. Click Update.

Note

You can only edit the Description, Server, Maximum Access Level, and Scope Icon.

Delete a scope

1. On the Scope Management page, click the scope that you want to delete.
2. In the Edit Scope pane, click Delete.
3. In the delete confirmation dialog, click Yes.
