A Recast Scope can be used to limit permissions to a subset of devices or users.
Common Uses
- Limit a user's ability to run Recast actions to a device collection or an Active Directory OU
- Limit a route to objects within the scope, such as a Recast Proxy or Fast Channel
Beginning with Recast Software Version 5.0, scopes are created automatically in the background when a route is created or when a user is assigned a role and associated permissions that only allow them to perform tasks within a limited scope, which may include certain devices, users, AD OUs, or AD groups.
The read-only Recast Scopes page displays scopes that have been created in your environment, and indicates whether the scope came from actions taken on the Routes page or the Permissions page.
You can add, edit, or remove scopes applied to routes on the Routes page in your Recast Management Server.
