Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

There may be sufficient resources that can act on the user or the system such that it makes sense to have this well-defined vs different for different resources.

_scope: [currentUser | allUsers]

Does allUsers also mean system or should that be a separate value? If not specified, expectation is default is currentUser. Are there other scopes that should be considered?

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
