    • Or select Skip to omit this step and proceed to the list of scopes with your new scope already included.

Enable Scope for App

  1. In the workspace, go to Applications > Clients.

  2. In the Clients view, select an application that you want to enable the scope for.

  3. In your application view, select the Scopes tab.

  4. In the Scopes tab, select the service that you want to configure and enable your new dynamic scope using the toggle switch.

Check if it Works

To test your new dynamic-scope setup

  1. Make sure that your application has a dynamic scope (for example, account.*) enabled.

  2. Make your application request a specific instance of your dynamic scope, for example account.1.

    For example, make an authorization call to:

    https://localhost:8443/default/default/oauth2/authorize?client_id=bu27qd10vc42d9kkisp0&redirect_uri=https://example.com&response_type=token&scope=email%20account.1

  3. Log in to the application.

    Result: The consent page opens and shows the application requesting access to dynamic scope account.* resolved to account.1.
