Changes to scopes for tenant hierarchies

Abiquo 5.4 introduces some changes to scopes to simplify tenant hierarchies in the multicloud platform. For a tenant hierarchy you can manage reseller and customer accounts in public cloud providers and manage cost and usage for all these accounts.

To define a tenant hierarchy, Abiquo will use the default scopes of the enterprises only. 

Usually you will create a default scope for each tenant. In Abiquo 5.4, when you assign a default scope to an enterprise, Abiquo will automatically add this enterprise to the scope.

• Note that if you change the default scope of an enteprise, Abiquo will not remove the enterprise from its previous scope.

Abiquo has also added more API methods to obtain the scope hierarchy for an enterprise.
