Activate REST API Auth Scope

You can activate the REST API Auth Scope plugin (com.glide.rest.auth.scope) to link the OAuth entity with authentication scopes.

Before you begin

Install the following plugins:

  • OAuth 2.0
  • REST API Provider
  • Authentication scope
  • REST API Scope

Note: The REST API Scope plugin is added as part of the Tokyo release.

Role required: api_service_admin, adaptive_auth_policy_admin

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > System Applications > All Available Applications > All.

  2. Find the REST API auth Scope (com.glide.rest.auth.scope) plugin using the filter criteria and search bar.

    You can search for the plugin by its name or ID. If you cannot find a plugin, you might have to request it from ServiceNow personnel.

  3. Select Install to start the installation process.

    Note: When domain separation and delegated admin are enabled in an instance, the administrative user must be in the global domain. Otherwise, the following error appears: Application installation is unavailable because another operation is running: Plugin Activation for <plugin name>.

    You will see a message after installation is completed. For information about the components installed with a plugin, see Find components installed with an application.
