# Scopes
|
|
|
|
A scope is a [permission][] boundary modeled as a container.
|
|
There are three types of scopes in Boundary.
|
|
A single [global][] scope which is the outermost container.
|
|
[Organizations][] which are contained by the global scope.
|
|
And [projects][] which are contained by organizations.
|
|
Each scope is itself a resource.
|
|
|
|
## Global
|
|
|
|
The global scope is the outermost scope.
|
|
There is always a single global scope
|
|
and it cannot be deleted.
|
|
The global scope can directly contain:
|
|
[users][], [groups][], [authentication methods][], and [organizations][].
|
|
|
|
## Organizations
|
|
|
|
An organization is a scope directly contained by the global scope.
|
|
There can be multiple organizations within the global scope.
|
|
An organization can directly contain:
|
|
[users][], [groups][], [authentication methods][], and [projects][].
|
|
|
|
## Projects
|
|
|
|
A project is a scope directly contained by an organization scope.
|
|
There can be multiple projects within an organization.
|
|
A project can directly contain:
|
|
[roles][], [targets][], and [host catalogs][]
|
|
|
|
## Attributes
|
|
|
|
A scope has the following configurable attributes:
|
|
|
|
- `name` - (optional)
|
|
If set, the `name` must be unique within the scope's parent scope.
|
|
|
|
- `description` - (optional)
|
|
|
