Manage scopes

Scopes are a selection of communities and domains that you can refer to in an assignment of an asset type. Each community or domain belongs to exactly one scope. In environments where advances operating model configuration is enabled, you can create, edit, and delete scopes.

Prerequisites

  • Your Collibra environment allows scope configuration. You can check if your license has the PLATFORM_OM_SCOPE capability enabled by using the GET method of the Core REST API v2 /license/capabilities endpoint.
  • You have a global role with the Product Rights > System administration global permission.

You can create a scope, for example, if you want to create a specific assignment for assets in a certain community:

  1. Open the Scopes page.
    1. On the main toolbar, click Products icon → Cogwheel icon Settings.
      The Settings page opens.

    2. In the Operating model section, click Scopes.
      The Scopes page opens.
