The targetScope keyword is used in ACIs to specify the scope of the ACI. The targetScope keyword uses this syntax:
(targetScope="base")
The targetScope keyword can have one of these values:
The ACI applies to the target resource only
The ACI applies to the target resource and its first-generation children
The ACI applies to the target resource and its subtree
If the targetScope keyword is not specified, the default value is subtree.
