What are scopes?

Scopes let you specify exactly how your app needs to access a Seismic tenant.

Seismic uses scopes that refer to the object they grant access to, followed by the defined action that is permitted (e.g seismic.library.view).

The list of objects includes self, user, configuration, reporting, delivery, library, and workspace.

There are currently only 2 defined sets of actions:

  • view: Reading the full information about a resource.
  • manage: Modifying the resource (e.g. creating, updating, or deleting)

🚧

Permissions

Scopes are not intended to override a users defined permissions. E.g. a business user cannot upload content to content manager when using an auth token with seismic.library.manage scope.
