You must specify an unique id when creating a scope. You can then reference this id when verifying API keys using the SDKs
Scopes are a way to add permissions and rbac to your API. For example, you can create a scope called profile. That way when you create an API key for a user, you can assign the profile scope along with access like read, create, update, and delete.

You can easily add permissions to your API endpoints by adding scopes in Verify Request endpoint. This way, only the API keys with the required scopes will be considered VALID and can access your endpoint.

  • Scopes are free-form, meaning you can create a scope name panda without any meaning
  • Scopes created on a workspace are then available to be added to an API key created under that workspace
