Description

The Add-ProvImageDefinitionScope command is used to associate one or more image definitions with given scope(s).
To add an image definition to a scope, you need permission to change the scopes of the image definition and permission to add objects to all of the scopes you have specified.
If the image definition is already in a scope, that scope will be silently ignored.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Adds a single image definition to the 'Finance' scope.
Add-ProvImageDefinitionScope Finance -ImageDefinitionUid 6702C5D0-C073-4080-A0EE-EC74CB537C52

EXAMPLE 2

Adds a single image definition to the multiple scopes.
Add-ProvImageDefinitionScope Finance,Marketing -ImageDefinitionUid 6702C5D0-C073-4080-A0EE-EC74CB537C52

EXAMPLE 3

Adds all visible image definitions to the 'Finance' scope.
Get-ProvImageDefinition | Add-ProvImageDefinitionScope Finance

EXAMPLE 4

Adds all image definitions whose name starts with letter 'A' to the 'Finance' scope.
Add-ProvImageDefinitionScope Finance -ImageDefinitionName A*
