cross scope privilege captured in update set by mistake

[sarabjeet]

Hi,

I was working in scoped application and i checked some script includes and scripted rest apis (neither inserted updated deleted nor executed anything) but when i checked my update set there was a entry named Cross Scope Privilege with operation as Execute API in it.

Can you please tell me how was it created? and can i delete it from my update set? will it affect anything existing in the system?

Hi there,

Cross scope privilege records are mostly automatically generated. You do need them. Maybe you also have seen sometimes an info message, concerning a Cross Scope Privilege was created.

Also read about this on below Docs page:

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Hi Mark,

Deleting it from update set will cause any problem in the system?

Hi Sarabjeet,

As rightly suggested by Mark, Cross scope privilege records are mostly automatically generated & link shared above details the same.

It should not be an issue if you delete it but rather than deleting you can simply get it removed from the update set where it is captured.

You can look for sys_update_xml table & get the update set name changed for the updates that you do not wish to have captured in update set.
