The Dictionary Administrator Scope This special scope, generally referred to as the DA scope, has ultimate authority over and unlimited access to the entire System Dictionary. This scope exists after you initialize System Dictionary. It is owned by the core set, and you can never delete it. The DA scope has all of the scope rights listed on the next page, which, in this scope, you can never delete or modify. The DA scope is the only scope that can change the DA password and DA scope external name. It can also call any System Dictionary intrinsic.
NOTE The DA scope and its password are considered highly sensitive and privileged information.
The DA scope may create other scopes (which it then owns) and may assign them individual scope rights. If they have the Secure scope right, those scopes may, in turn, create other scopes (which they own) and may assign to them, any of their own scope rights. Although there is no limit to the number of nested levels of scopes in the dictionary, the maximum number of scopes that System Dictionary allows is 128.
