Hi All,
Creating global scope is always admin task or should we let publishers to
initiate creating global scopes. Asking this because most of the time its
developers who create scopes and sometimes they may think this scope can
use widely. Isn't it a case we should consider. Also need to think about
scenarios related to basic auth as role assignment change for global role
does not reflect to API level metadata stored in gateway.

Thanks,
sanjeewa.
