To make it easier to create multiple users with the same scope, Abiquo tenants will now have a default scope. When you create an enterprise it is impossible to have previously created a scope containing that enterprise. So Abiquo manages this situation by adding a new enterprise to the administrator’s scope and assigning that scope as the default for the enterprise. The administrator can later edit the enterprise and change the default scope depending on their own scope.
In the dialog to create a user, Abiquo displays the enterprise’s default scope as the first element in the dropdown list. An administrator can assign their own scope, the enterprise’s default scope, or a lower scope in their scope hierarchy.

How do I create a scope hierarchy?
An administrator with scope privileges and the “Allow user to switch enterprises” privilege
can create a hierarchy by assigning a parent scope to any scope except an unlimited scope. (An unlimited scope is the Global scope or a Use all enterprises or Use all datacenters scope).
...
What happens when I create an enterprise?
When an administrator creates a new tenant, this tenant is automatically added to the administrator’s scope, so it becomes part of the existing hierarchy. Later a higher-level administrator can move this tenant to another scope in a different part of the hierarchy.
Does an administrator need to have their own enterprise in scope?
An administrator can belong to an enterprise that is not included in their own scope, which means that they cannot manage this enterprise. However, an administrator will usually have access to the Apps library, which is determined by their Apps library privileges, allowed datacenters, and datacenter scope. To share resources, such as VM templates and VApp specs, with enterprises in their child scopes, an administrator will need the “Allow user to switch enterprises” privilege.
Which users can access shared resources?
As in previous versions, all users whose enterprises are listed in the resource scopes can access a shared resource, such as a VM template or VApp spec.
Which administrators can manage shared resources?
To manage shared resources, users must have the following:
...
Is there any difference between administrator resource access?
All administrators that can manage a shared resource can edit that resource. The only difference between users with a higher or lower scope is the number of scopes they can select from. If a user with a lower scope modifies scopes, this will not affect any higher scopes that are assigned to the template.
What default access will tenant administrators have?
By default, tenant administrators do not have the Allow user to switch enterprises privilege. This means that they can only work with local resources in their own enterprise and Abiquo will not display the Scopes tab when they edit a template or spec.
Which scopes can an administrator assign or unassign from shared resources?
An administrator can manage the following scopes:
Own scope
Enterprise default scope
Child scopes beneath their scope in the hierarchy
The following diagram shows an example of a scope hierarchy.
