  • 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


Scope concepts

A Scope is an access list that contains a list of resources (enterprises and/or datacenters) to allow access.

You can use scopes to:

  1. Create restricted sets of resources for administrators
  2. Share resources with a group of tenants and an optional tenant hierarchy
  3. Create a tenant hierarchy for pricing, billing, and cost and usage aggregation, which is useful for resellers and large organizations
