# Enforce application scope restrictions \[New in Security Center 1.3 and removed in 1.5\]

Use the **glide.record.legacy\_cross\_scope\_access\_policy\_in\_script** property to control the permissions of scoped apps.

If the **glide.record.legacy\_cross\_scope\_access\_policy\_in\_script** property is set to true, scoped apps can call APIs which should only be available to global apps. This property bypasses the intended access controls for creating and updating developers for those scoped apps.
