Manage external client apps
From Setup, enter Custom Scopes in the Quick Find box, and select
OAuth Custom Scopes.
Find the OAuth custom scope to update, and click Edit.
Edit the custom scope’s values, as needed.
The name must be unique, begin with a letter, and include only alphanumeric characters and
underscores. You can’t use spaces in custom scope names. The corresponding policy in your
external entity must have the exact name as the custom scope.
The description must be unique, include only alphanumeric characters, and not be more than
60 characters. You can enter a custom label in place of a description. An advantage of custom
labels is that you can maintain reusable text in a single location and translate the text
into multiple languages. See Custom Labels.
Note The same description formatting requirements
apply to the custom labels that are associated with custom scopes.
To include the custom scope in the external client app’s OpenID Connect discovery endpoint
(https://<your_domain_name>.my.salesforce.com/.well-known/openid-configuration),
select Include on well known endpoint.
