# New-AdminScope

Adds a new scope to the site.

Syntax

New-AdminScope [-Name] <String> [-Description <String>] [-LoggingId <Guid>] [-AdminAddress <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

New-AdminScope adds a new scope object to the site.

A scope represents a collection of objects. Scopes are used to group objects in a way that is relevant to the organization; for example, the set of delivery groups used by the Sales team.

You can create objects in particular scopes by specifying the -Scope parameter of a New- cmdlet for an object that can be scoped. You can then modify the contents of a scope with Add-Scope and Remove-Scope cmdlets from the correpsonding PowerShell snap-ins.

To assign a scope to an administrator, combine it with a role and then assign this pair (also known as a 'right') to an administrator. See Add-AdminRight for further details.

The identifier of the new scope is chosen automatically.

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
Name Specifies the name of the scope. Each scope in a site must have a unique name. true true (ByPropertyName)
Description Specifies the description of the scope. false true (ByPropertyName)
LoggingId Specifies the identifier of the high-level operation this cmdlet call forms a part of. Citrix Studio and Director typically create high-level operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a high-level operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets. false false
AdminAddress Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. You can provide this as a host name or an IP address. false false Localhost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value becomes the default.
