Client scopes define the level of access or permissions that a user or application has when interacting with a client. Scopes are used to segment functionalities and data, allowing fine-grained control over what actions a user can perform.
Open the Admin Console.
Look for the Clients section in the left-hand menu.
Within the Clients section, click on the Client Scopes tab.
Users have the option to define a scope by providing specific details, assigning a unique scope key, selecting a security level, and tailoring it to their individual preferences.
Open the Admin Console.
In the left-hand menu, navigate to Clients and then select Client Scopes.
Scope Key
The unique key to identify the scope using a canonical representation for the key-value pair (refer to the API definition) or a single key without a value.
Security Level
Choose either Public or Confidential for limited access to data, fields, or services of the app that require admin verification.

1.Public Security Level
Scopes configured with the public security level grant open access to their content. Anyone, regardless of authorization, can view and engage with the information contained within.
This accessibility makes public security suitable for sharing information widely, enabling collaboration and engagement among a broad audience.
2.Confidential Security Level
In contrast, scopes set to the confidential security level prioritize data protection.
Only individuals or groups with specific permissions are granted access to the content.
This heightened level of security ensures that sensitive or proprietary information remains accessible only to those who have been authorized, safeguarding it from unauthorized exposure.
Note: The Scope Key cannot be changed.
Add a Locale:
Navigate to the locale settings in your system. This location may vary depending on the platform or software you are using.
Look for an option to "Add" or "Include" a new locale.
Select the desired locale you want to add and confirm the addition.
Observe Related Changes:
Once you've added the locale, you will notice that certain changes become visible.
Impact on Scope Presentation and Access:
Understand that this addition will affect how the scope is presented and accessed within the system.
Pay attention to any language-specific content or settings that may have been introduced or modified.
Review the scope and its content to ensure it aligns with the newly added locale.
Locale Settings
Select Locale: Allow users to choose the locale for their scopes(e.g., English, French, etc.).
Scope Title: The identifier of the scope.
Scope Description: A description of the purpose of the scope and why it is used.
Users have the power to delete scopes in the system. Deleting a scope removes all its content and settings permanently.
It's a big decision because once a scope is deleted, it can't be brought back.
So, it's important to think carefully before deleting a scope.
