Private application scope

This is the only kind of application scope available to administrators and developers when creating a new application. Applications created in private application scope implements application scoping. This means all the application artifacts created within the scope will create, read, write, and delete the application data.

The artifacts in private application scope have a unique namespace identifier with the following format: x_[vendor-prefix]_[application-id].

A vendor prefix is a two to five characters long string that is unique to each ServiceNow customer. Your organization may own multiple ServiceNow instances, but the vendor prefix in all of those instances will remain the same, whereas the application ID is typically the application name with spaces replaced by underscores and could be up to 40 characters long.
