Introducing Scope of Operations

Accounts are containers of multiple tenants and can be used to define global policies to be applied across multiple tenants managed by the same organizations – as is typical of Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) or distributed enterprises that are split into multiple tenants for separate governance.

By default, all tenants will be created within a SonicWall-managed account, which will only have a default policy pre-configured but will not be updated. MSSPs and Distributed Enterprise customers can get their own accounts to better manage multiple tenants by submitting a request via Support.

With this change, there is now a multi-tier hierarchy of “scope of operations” within Capture Client. By selecting a scope from the Scope selector, your operations are made specific to the Account, Tenant, or Group. See Using Scope Selector. The available scopes are:

• Account scope
• Tenant scope
• Group scope
