Creating an API Scope
About this task
Scopes enable you to group a set of REST resources, methods, or both, and SOAP operations for an API.
A scope consists of a name, description, and zero or more resources, methods, or operations. An API can have zero or more scopes.
You can define a set of policies and configure its properties for each individual scope. These policies apply to each of the resources, methods, or operations that are associated to the scope.
Instructions throughout the remainder of this guide use the term scope-level policy when referring to a set of policies configured for an individual scope of the API.
Note: Ensure that you have a unique set of resources,
methods, or operations in every scope in the API.
