            Configure Custom Scopes for External Client Apps

            Personalize your external client apps by using OAuth custom scopes. Like with connected apps, OAuth custom scopes define the permissions of an external client app to access protected resources hosted by an external entity. External client apps support packaging these custom scopes for distribution.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Professional, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

            OAuth custom scopes for external client apps work the same as OAuth custom scopes for connected apps. To use a custom scope, you must first create the scope and then assign it to the external client app.

            Custom scopes can be set in the Policies, Settings, and Package Defaults tabs for external client apps. Developers can set custom scopes for local external client apps and define default values for apps for packaging. Admins can add, edit, or remove custom scopes from their external client apps.

            Custom Scopes and 2GP Managed Packaging

            Because custom scopes are created independently from external client apps, they must be packaged separately as well. To package an external client app with custom scopes, package the custom scopes by using second-generation (2GP) managed packaging, and then package the external client app as a 2GP managed package. To install an external client app that includes custom scopes, you must install the custom scope package before you install the external client app package.

            If your custom scopes use custom labels as descriptions, package these labels separately as well. In this case you must package the custom labels by using 2GP managed packaging, then package the custom scopes by using 2GP managed packaging, and then package the external client app as a 2GP managed package. The installation process must follow this order as well. To install an external client app that includes custom scopes with custom labels, first install the custom label package, then the custom scope package, and then install the external client app package.
