# Use delegation scopes

When [creating a delegation](../execute-on-smart-accounts-behalf.md), you must configure a scope to define the delegation's initial authority and help prevent delegation misuse.
You can further constrain this initial authority by [adding caveats to a delegation](constrain-scope.md).

The Smart Accounts Kit currently supports three categories of scopes:

| Scope type                                        | Description                                                                                                                         |
| ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Spending limit scopes](spending-limit.md)        | Restricts the spending of native, ERC-20, and ERC-721 tokens based on defined conditions.                                           |
| [Function call scope](function-call.md)           | Restricts the delegation to specific contract methods, contract addresses, or calldata.                                             |
| [Ownership transfer scope](ownership-transfer.md) | Restricts the delegation to only allow ownership transfers, specifically the `transferOwnership` function for a specified contract. |
