Concept Of Scope

Once you define your security administrator ACIDs, you need to consider for which part of your security hierarchy they will be responsible. This is called the security administrator’s scope of authority. CA Top Secret provides you with several different levels of Control ACID scope, and each level corresponds to a level in your corporate structure. For example, a Division Control ACID, or VCA, is responsible for administering security for all the ACIDs within a particular Division (including ACIDs assigned to Departments associated with that Division). The VCA responsible for the Finance Division would also be responsible for the ACIDs within the Payroll and Accounting Departments.
