# Scopes

Scopes allow you to define the level of access that can be provided to access Catalyst components. There are primarily two scopes that define two levels of access:

* **Admin**: If you initialize your SDK with this scope, you can access all the SDK methods of all the components. There are no restrictions.
* **User**: If you initialize with this scope, you will only be able to access certain SDK methods of certain Catalyst components.

> **Notes:** By default you will be able to initialize the SDK in the **Admin** scope.

The following table will provide the complete list of SDK methods present in  each Catalyst component, and the scope required to implement them.

### Implement SDK Methods with Scopes

```javascript
// initialize the sdk with user scope
 const auth = await new ZCAuth().init(req, {scope: 'user'});
// initialize the sdk with admin scope
const auth = await new ZCAuth().init(req, {scope: 'admin'});
```
