HP System Dictionary XL Gen. Ref. Vol. 1

Scope Restrictions 

The following restrictions apply to scopes.

 *  Only the DA scope or a scope with secure capability can create a new
    scope.

 *  When a scope creates a new scope, it becomes the owner of the new
    scope.

 *  A scope cannot assign a scope right that it does not have itself.

 *  Only the DA scope or the owner of a scope can modify, delete, or
    retrieve information about that scope.  Note, however, that a scope
    can change its own password, and retrieve information about itself.

 *  When a scope is deleted, an existing scope may be specified to become
    the new owner of everything that is owned by the scope to be deleted.
    The new owner scope must, however, have at least the same scope
    rights as the scope it replaces.  If a scope is not specified, the
    current scope will become the new owner, but only if it has at least
    the same scope rights as the scope it replaces.

 *  Only the DA scope can retrieve all the scopes in the dictionary, but
    a scope with secure capability can retrieve all of the scopes it
    owns.
