In ServiceNow, what is a "Scoped Application"?

1. An application with limited functionality
2. An application designed for a specific business unit or group
3. An application that enforces strict access controls
4. An application with restricted access to specific tables and scripts

Hello @onlineworkw 

The correct answer is both B& C.

A scoped application in ServiceNow is a modular application that is developed within its own namespace, or scope, to prevent any resource conflicts with other applications.

Here's a summary:

- Scoped applications allow developers to create applications that can be securely packaged and distributed.

- They have their own private namespace, which prevents them from conflicting with global applications.

- Scoped applications can have their own tables, scripts, and other application files.

- They can also use resources from the global scope, but global applications cannot access resources in a scoped application.

- An example of a scoped application could be a custom app developed for a specific department in an organization, like an HR Onboarding app. This app could have its own tables for storing employee onboarding data, scripts for handling onboarding processes, and so on, all within its own scope.

Hello @onlineworkw ,

If there is only one option to select as the answer, I would recommend going with Option B: An application designed for a specific business unit or group, as it best captures the primary purpose of a scoped application in ServiceNow.

However, if multiple options can be selected, you should also include Option C: An application that enforces strict access controls, as scoped applications are designed with private namespaces and strict access control features to prevent conflicts and enhance security.

I hope this helps clarify your choice!

Hello @onlineworkw 

• The correct option is "an application that enforces strict access controls" because the main purpose of a scoped application is to isolate its data, scripts, and components from other applications and ensure only authorized access.
• Option B ("an application designed for a specific business unit or group") is a valid use case for scoped applications, but it’s not the defining feature. Scoped applications can be built for broader use cases, not just for specific groups.
