# Create asset scopes

Asset scopes determine which assets an account can access. You can define scopes based on criteria such as:

- Asset type (for example, servers, Windows devices, network equipment)
- Domain or subnet
- Installation or scanning target
- Location

If no asset scopes are configured, accounts can see all assets in their inventory. By adding scopes, you restrict the assets an account can view.

## Create an asset scope

1. In your site, go to **Site settings > Account management > Asset scopes**.
2. Select **Create asset scope**.
3. Enter a **Name** for your asset scope that represents your desired scope. Optionally, enter a description.
4. Under **Conditions**, select the option **Asset type**, **Asset domain**, **IP location**, **Location**, or **Installation** from the dropdown.
5. Select your desired **Operator** and **Value**.
6. Under **Assigned roles**, select a created role from the dropdown. To create a new role, see [Manage roles](/docs/manage-roles).
7. Select **Create**.
