Description

Prerequisites
  • Write a descriptive title.
  • Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
  • Search the existing issues.
Steps to reproduce

When running Get-PSResource without parameters, it searches resources only from CurrentUser scope. There is no default value in documentation.

The cmdlet should return resources from all scopes by default. Or the default value should be clearly documented.

Expected behavior
PS ❯ Get-PSResource

# all resources returned
Actual behavior
PS ❯ Get-PSResource

# only resources in CurrentUser scope returned

Research direction

Start by reproducing Get-PSResource with resources in more than one scope and inspect the Get-PSResource entry point to find how its default scope is selected. Check the related documentation for the default value. Done means the command searches all scopes by default, or the chosen default is clearly documented and covered by the relevant tests.
