I have created a subtask for ESP and legacy ECLwatch. Please check if you have to do anything in new ECLWatch.

Yes, it is the second one – security-related WuScope. Therefore, I think that, if an HPCC environment without security being set, we should not display the WuScope and not allow a user to edit it.

I was referring to security-related scope of a WU.
A scope can be set initially (overriding the default) using #Workunit('scope','myscope').
I suggest we add a setWUScope to allow a user to change a WU scope for security's sake.

Actually there is no setScope, only a getScope (which retrieves the prefix from the cluster).

Looking at the sources in workunit.cpp, I see part of the reason for the confusion

There are methods setScope/getScope, that set or retrieve the PREFIX used for files that don't have a leading ~, and functions setWuScope/getWuScope that seem to be security-related.

I assume the scope field you are talking about is expected to set the latter?
