# Scopes
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.
1. Open the Admin Console.
2. Look for the Open Id Connect Setting section in the left-hand menu.
3. Within the Open Id Connect Setting section, click on the **Scopes** tab.
### Create Scopes
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.
1. Open the Admin Console.
2. In the left-hand menu, navigate to Open Id Connect Setting and then select Create **Scopes.**
### Scope Details
**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.
**Save**
* Click **Save** to confirm and complete the new creation process.
**Cancel**
* Click **Cancel** to discard and exit the new creation process.
### **Security Level**
**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.
### **Edit Scope Details**
**Note:** The Scope Key cannot be changed.
1. **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.
2. **Observe Related Changes**:
* Once you've added the locale, you will notice that certain changes become visible.
3. **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.
### Delete Scope:
* 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.
