Combine scopes with the default user permissions and roles to create custom data views. Scopes let the administrator provide access to each site or brand's information separately.

## Create scopes

Scopes are expressions used to identify what kind of data will be displayed to users.

1. Go to **Settings > Scopes > Create New Scope**.
2. Name and customize your scope. See [Scope examples](docId\:ashioXX5H5SYBBcyY75W3).
3. Click **Save**.

## Scope examples

When creating scopes, use the **+Value**, **+Add**, and **+Or** options to make your scope's expression more complex and targeted. Each example below reviews how these options can build on each other to create a more specific experience for your users. The examples also assume you will be applying the scope to all of the user's roles.

**+Value** considers additional values in an individual rule. This example used **+Value** to create a scope for host names. Users would only be able to access data related to abc.com or def.com.

**+And** requires multiple rules to be considered at once. This example used **+Add** with **+Value** for the mobile-centric data of several host names. Users would not be able to access data related to other host names or devices.

**+Or** considers a completely separate rule. This example used **+Or** with the previous ruleset for the mobile-centric data of abc.com and def.com or all the data related to ghi.com.
