External scopes

Abiquo 4.7.2 introduces external scopes for assigning scopes based on the user's groups in an external authentication system such as LDAP or OpenID, which you have already configured for the platform.

When you create a user, the platform will select a scope for the user based on the external scopes that you enter on the Create user dialog. External scopes are the groups of the user in the external system and they are similar to external roles.

Optional: Specify attributes of an external system to define the user groups that this scope should apply to. An example of external scopes could be an LDAP group for the user. Used in external authentication modes (e.g. openid, ldap). A user's external scopes must map to a single scope (local or global). See LDAP and Active Directory Integration and Abiquo OpenID Connect Integration documentation.
