# About scopes

A scope is a grouping of resources that can be used to restrict the range of an operation or action. For example, you can create scopes based on:

- Organizations (Marketing, Research and Development, Finance)

- Usage (Production, Development, Testing)

- Skills (Linux, Windows)

The resources are arranged by categories. All the resources in these categories can be added to or removed from a scope:

- Enclosures

- Server Hardware

- Networks (Ethernet, FC, and FCoE)

- Network Sets

- Interconnects, excluding SAS resources

- Logical Interconnects, excluding SAS resources

- Logical Interconnect Groups, excluding SAS resources

- Switches

- Logical Switches

- Logical Switch Groups

| NOTE: Resources in other categories are considered to be included in all scopes, and they cannot be removed.

When scopes are defined and resources assigned to them, you can:

- Restrict your view of the user interface (UI) to the resources in the scope.

- Filter email notifications for alerts based on the scope of the associated resources.
