Overview

This node operation retrieves all device collections within the Scope Management resource of the Aruba Central Next Gen API. It is useful for scenarios where users need to list or manage groups of devices, such as organizing devices by scope or monitoring device collections for network management purposes. For example, a network administrator might use this operation to fetch all device collections to audit or apply configurations to specific groups.

Use Case Examples

1. Fetch all device collections to display in a dashboard.
2. Retrieve device collections filtered by a specific scope name for targeted management.
