# Editing scopes for an application

Edit scopes to define permissions for an application. Learn more in [Resource scopes](p1_resource_scopes.html).

You can add the following types of scopes:

* OAuth scopes control what data is shared with applications. For example, you can allow an application to access the end user profiles by adding the `profile` scope from the OpenID Connect (OIDC) native resource.

* PingOne API self-management scopes enable customers to build custom user-management applications. For example, if your organization wants to develop an application allowing authenticated users to review their own PingOne user sessions, add the `p1:read:sessions` self-management scope to the application record. Learn more in [Self Service](../user_experience/p1_self_service.html) and [PingOne API self-management scopes](https://developer.pingidentity.com/pingone-api/foundations/pingone-roles-scopes-and-permissions/access-services-through-scopes-and-roles/pingone-self-management-scopes.html).
