Awareness Scoping

Awareness scoping controls which users and devices receive XFA onboarding and security messages. Define the scope first, then configure the emails or chat notifications, so your rollout reaches the right people without sending reminders to irrelevant groups or devices. Use it to plan a targeted rollout before users start receiving messages.

🔐 Scoping for Invitations and Security Alerts

Setting Up Scoping

Before configuring which emails to send or how often to send them, you must define the scope of devices and users who will receive onboarding invites or security alerts.

This interface allows you to configure which devices and users will be included in automated or manual notifications based on specific filtering rules.

🛠 Scoping Options

You can fine-tune the scope by selecting any combination of the following:

  • Managed Devices

    When unchecked, managed devices (typically controlled by your IT team) are excluded from notifications and invitations.

  • Desktop Devices

    When checked, desktop devices will be included in the scope.

  • Mobile Devices

    When checked, mobile devices will be included in the scope.

  • Filter by Groups

    1. Allows you to target specific user groups (e.g., synced from Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, or Okta).

    2. You can select one or more groups to narrow the scope to specific teams or departments.

note

If your organization has completed a directory integration, group filters help you scope alerts to only the most relevant users.
