# 2026-04-13: IAM Service - custom scopes and access controls

## Overview

{% hint style="info" %}
This functionality is still under development and not yet fully complete. Updates to the Management Dashboard for this area are currently in progress.
{% endhint %}

The IAM Service lets tenants define **custom scopes** and manage them over dedicated APIs.

**Access control** responses now include the following properties:

* `domain` property
* `predefined` property - tells if the access control is system-defined or user-created
* `vendorAware` - tells if the access control is associated with vendor scopes

The endpoint for listing access controls supports the `q` search parameter. Additionally, it's now possible to create, update, and delete custom access controls.
