Description

The Add-AcctServiceAccountScope command is used to associate one or more service account objects with given scope(s).
To add a service account to a scope you need permission to change the scopes of the service account and permission to add objects to all of the scopes you have specified.
When attempting to add a service account to a scope it is already associated with, no change will be made.
The service accounts may be specified using the unique identifier, name, or as a powershell object.
