Changes 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

  • 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
