Introducing RootFi’s Latest Feature: Scopes

In the ever-evolving world of data integration and management, RootFi strives to provide features that streamline access to financial data while enhancing security and customization. We're excited to introduce the latest feature to our platform: Scopes.

‍

What are Scopes?

Scopes in RootFi’s context, borrowing from OAuth 2.0’s framework, are designed to fine-tune your application's access to data from your customers’ third-party platforms. In simpler terms, Scopes allow you to specify exactly what data your application can access using RootFi’s Unified API. This means you can request access to specific data models and fields tailored precisely to your needs. Unlike the generic approach, Scopes provide a customizable experience so your application accesses only the data it needs, enhancing both efficiency and security.

‍

Why are Scopes Important to You?

As a Product Manager or a CXO, your primary concern is not just about accessing data, but accessing the right data in the most secure, efficient, and compliant way possible. Here’s why Scopes are a game-changer:

1. Enhanced Security: By limiting access to only necessary data, Scopes reduce the risk of data breaches and other data security concerns.
   ‍
2. Customization and Control: You gain finer control over the data your application interacts with, leading to more tailored and efficient operations.
   ‍
3. Compliance and Trust: With Scopes, you ensure compliance with regional data privacy regulations and foster trust with your customers.
   ‍
4. Optimized Performance: By accessing only what you need, your applications run smoother and faster, avoiding the clutter of unnecessary data.

‍

How to Configure Scopes?

Configuring Scopes in RootFi is a straightforward process:

1. Identify Your Needs: Determine what data and functionalities your application requires from the integrated accounting platforms.
   ‍
2. Request Access: Use RootFi’s Unified API dashboard to specify the data models and fields you need. This could range from read-only access, write-only access or full read-and-write capabilities.
   ‍‍
3. Customer Consent: Your customers will be presented with a consent screen detailing the access your application is requesting. This transparency builds trust and ensures user control.
   ‍‍
4. Token Issuance: Upon consent, RootFi issues an access token limited to the Scopes granted, ensuring secure and specific access.
