Note
titleChanges to scopes from Abiquo 4.0
  • Now administrators assign scopes to Abiquo users. In previous versions, administrators assigned scopes to Abiquo roles and the global scope was the default
    • During the upgrade process to version 4.0, Abiquo assigns role scopes to users
  • All enterprises must now have a default scope for creating users
  • Administrators can now create optional hierarchies of scopes and share resources, such as templates and specs, with tenants at lower levels of their hierarchies
