# Manage cross-scope privileges

Freelucy is a scoped ServiceNow application. Out of the box, it has cross-scope read access to the most common ServiceNow tables. For any table that's not covered — including custom tables — you grant access manually with an Application Cross-Scope Privilege.

## When you need this

You need to add a cross-scope privilege whenever:

* A table you want to map relationships on doesn't appear in Freelucy's table picker.
* Freelucy returns an empty result when you know records exist on a table.
* You've added a new custom CI table since the last Freelucy update.

***

## Step 1 — Set the application scope to Freelucy

Cross-scope privileges are created in the scope of the consumer application — Freelucy.

1. Click the **globe icon** at the top right of the menu bar.
2. Open **Application scope** and filter for **Freelucy**.
3. Select **Freelucy**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**On UPM-X?** If you're using the Visual Relationship Editor inside UPM-X, set the application scope to **UPM-X** instead of Freelucy.
{% endhint %}

***

## Step 2 — Create the cross-scope privilege

1. Click **All** and filter for **Application Cross-Scope**.

2. Open **Application Cross-Scope Access**. (Or go directly to the `sys_scope_privilege` table.)
3. Click **New**.
4. Fill in the new record:

   * **Target name** — the technical name of the table you want Freelucy to access.
   * **Operation** — choose **Read**. This lets Freelucy read all records on the target table.

5. Set **Status** to **Allowed**.
6. Save.

Freelucy can now read records from that table. If the table also has a [suggested relationship](/freelucy/configuration/suggested-relationships.md) defined, it will appear in the table picker.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Want more depth?** ServiceNow's documentation on [Cross Scope Privileges](https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-application-development/page/build/applications/reference/c_CrossScopePrivilegeRecord.html) covers the full mechanism, including write, create, and delete operations.
