Connecting to Another Data Scope

In Axonius, users are assigned to one or more data scopes. Users with the Move between data scopes permission can temporarily connect to another permitted data scope without switching user accounts. This allows users to troubleshoot issues and analyze broader dataset access within their assigned role.

Restricted Actions During Impersonation

The following actions are unavailable while connected to an alternate data scope, regardless of user permissions:

• Creating and assigning users
• Modifying System Settings
• Viewing Activity logs
• Creating, editing, or using Asset Scope queries

Scope-Specific Assets

Any items created while connected to an alternate data scope remain exclusive to that scope. These include:

• Queries
• Dashboards
• Reports
• Enforcement Sets

  1. In the lower-left corner, click your avatar and then Connect As.
