Managing Enterprise Scopes

 
* 
NOTE: The Enterprise Scopes feature is available only in the NTFS Security, Share Security, Registry Security, SQL Security, SharePoint Security, and Exchange Security modules.

An Enterprise Scope is grouping of objects, similar to a folder that contains multiple files, on which you can manipulate permissions. Unlike Favorites, where you can list single paths, Enterprise Scopes can contain multiple paths.

Use Enterprise Scopes to organize objects into logical groups so that you can more easily manage the permissions associated with these objects. For example, you could target multiple drives on one or many servers located across your network. You could group together all home directories, even if they span several drives on several servers. You also could use Enterprise Scopes for quick access of frequently-used paths.

Enterprise Scopes are unique to each module, but you can view all the Enterprise Scopes by clicking All Management Targets. All the Enterprise Scopes are listed and identified with the module in which they were created.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: You must select View | Enterprise Scope Tree Node to display Enterprise Scopes in the Navigation pane.

There are two ways to create an Enterprise Scope. As you are navigating through the Navigation and Object panes, you can select an object and add it to an Enterprise Scope. You also can create Enterprise Scopes through the Manage Enterprise Scopes feature, which is an efficient method for creating multiple scopes in an organized manner.

 
* 
NOTE: Enterprise Scopes are associated with a specific module. For example, Enterprise Scopes that you create in the NTFS Security module do not display in the Navigation pane in the Registry Security module. To view all Enterprise Scopes, click All Management Targets.

Creating an Enterprise Scope while browsing

NOTE: The Enterprise Scopes feature is available only in the NTFS Security, Share Security, Registry Security, SQL Security, SharePoint Security, and Exchange Security modules.

When you are navigating through the Navigation and Object panes, you can create an Enterprise Scope quickly by selecting an object and adding it to a scope.

To create an Enterprise Scope while browsing

-OR-
Click on the Tool Bar, or right-click an object, and choose Add to Enterprise Scope.

Creating an Enterprise Scope
