For General info:
For the Name, we recommend that you identify the tenant, resource, or user group that the scope will apply to
To add the scope to a hierarchy, select a Parent scope. We recommend that under a hierarchy with limited scopes you should not select unlimited scopes (
Use all enterprisesand/orUse all datacenters)To specify attributes of an external system to define the user groups that this scope should apply to, enter External scopes. An example of an external scope could be an LDAP group for the user. This is for external authentication modes, such as OpenID and LDAP. A user's external scopes must map to a single Abiquo scope (local or global). See LDAP and Active Directory Integration and Abiquo OpenID Connect Integration.
To create a default list of network addresses from which users with this scope can access the platform, enter Allowed CIDRs. You can also set allowed CIDRs for a user role. A user will inherit the role and scope CIDRs. Any allowed CIDRs set directly for the user will have priority over these inherited allowed CIDRs.
For Entities:
Select Enterprises to use in the scope. To automatically include all existing and future enterprises, select the option to Use all enterprises.
If you assign this scope to a user, then the user can manage resources in the list of enterprises selected
If you assign this scope to a resource, then users can access the resources if they belong to the enterprises that are in the scope list
Enterprise default scopes do not use the enterprises list, but enterprise default scopes are the default scope for users you create in the enterprise
Select Datacenters (and public cloud regions) to include in the scope. To automatically include all existing and future datacenters, select the options to Use all datacenters.
If you assign this scope to a user, then the user can manage resources in the list of datacenters selected.
Resource scopes do not use the datacenters list
Enterprise default scopes do not use the datacenters list, but enterprise default scopes are the default scope for users you create in the enterprise
After you create a scope, you can assign it to a user, an enterprise, or a resource.
