Filter resources by scope

After you have created a scope, you can use it to display only the resources assigned to it.

If the permissions for a logged in user are all restricted by scope, the default setting for this filter is All resources in scope. With this setting, the master pane view is restricted to resources in those scopes.

If the permissions for a logged in user are not restricted by scope, the default filter setting will be All resources.

For example, if a user has two active permissions, (Server administrator, Production) and (Network administrator, Test), the Scopes filter defaults to All resources in scope and displays resources in both the Production and Test scopes. When the (Network administrator, Test) user permission is disabled, the Scopes filter continues to default to All resources in scope, but only resources in the Production scope are displayed.

If a user has the active permission (Server administrator, All resources), the Scopes filter defaults to All resources.

If you are an Infrastructure administrator with no scope restrictions, enable the Restrict user interface read access by scope option to prevent scope-restricted users from viewing resources that are not in scope. If you are an scope-restricted user, you are defined with a role and restricted by scope.

Procedure
  1. From the filter sidebar, locate the Scopes filter.
    NOTE:

    Some resource categories prevent scope assignments. The Scopes filter does not appear in the resource screens for those categories. See "Scopes" for a list of resources that can be assigned to a scope and for information on the treatment of categories that prevent scope assignments.

  2. To select items from the Scopes filter:

    • Select a scope type from the scope filter. The resource screen displays only the resources assigned to that scope.

    • Select All resources to display all the resources, regardless of the scopes to which they are assigned.

    • Select All resources in scope, if a user does not have permissions that are not restricted by scope.

    NOTE:
    • When two or more scopes are selected, you can use the All or Any settings in the scope filter to control filtering. Select the All setting to only display resources in all selected scopes. To display resources in any of the selected scopes, select the Any setting.
    • You can select multiple scopes from the scope filter. Each filter cumulatively limits the resource display.
    • The All resources setting disables filtering by scopes.
