Scopes
The Scopes page shows the system's permission definitions — every individual permission that can be assigned to roles. This is an advanced administration page used to manage how permissions are organized in the navigation menu and role assignment interface.

Most users don't need to manage scopes directly. Scopes are system-managed and primarily used to organize the permission structure. Use Roles & Permissions to assign permissions to roles instead.

Understanding scope names
Scopes follow the resource:action naming pattern:
| Part | Examples | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Resource | leads, contacts, users, broadcast | The feature or data type |
| Action | create, read, readAll, update, delete | What the user can do |
Special actions:
readAll— View the list (table/grid) of all itemsread— View a single item's details*— All actions for the resource (full access)
Examples:
leads:create— Can create new leadscontacts:readAll— Can view the contacts listbroadcast:send— Can send broadcast messageschatbot-flows:webhook— Can trigger chatbot flows via webhook
Tips
- Scopes are system-managed — avoid adding or removing scopes unless you understand the impact
- Use the Show in Role Assignment toggle to hide internal scopes from the role creation UI
- Use the Agent Restricted flag to prevent sensitive permissions from being assigned to agent roles
- The Group fields control how scopes are organized in the Roles & Permissions permission selector
