Scopes

Application scopes enable you to see what type of access an application needs to your Blackbaud data. Each publisher declares what access they need to your Blackbaud data for their application on a per product . Also, each time they want to change the data access, such as when they add new functionality, they have to obtain your consent again.

When you connect, the application can only access data based on:

  • scopes (types of access) that an environment admin has approved in the Marketplace, and

  • the user permissions of the person who authorizes the app by entering their Blackbaud credentials (also known as the consenting user).
