Specifying the scope of a binding

When you bind an application or a login to an execution class, you can specify a scope for the binding. You select the scope from the Scope list on the New Execution Class Binding dialog box.

The scope for a login specifies the range of applications to which this execution class binding applies. The options are:

All – The execution class binding applies to all applications run by this login. A scope of All is equivalent to a scope of NULL in the sp_bindexeclass stored procedure.
Specific application – The execution class binding applies only when the login runs the specified application.

The scope for an application specifies the logins for which this execution class binding applies. The options are:

All – The execution class binding applies to any login that runs this application. A scope of All is equivalent to a scope of NULL in the sp_bindexeclass stored procedure.
Specific login – The execution class binding applies when this application is run by the specific login.
