## Editing a Resource

Resources can be edited from the Protected or Identity Resources page by first selecting the Resource

## Identity Resources Edit Mode

Once you are in edit mode for an Identity Resource, you will initially arrive at the Details page. 

The Resource ID will be displayed in a read-only view. This is the unique identifier for requests.

This section also allows you to edit the `Display name` of the Resource - this is the Resource Name that will be seen on consent screens, along with the Resource `Description`, and a `Resource Status` switch.

You will also be able to to set various statuses of the Resource:

- Whether explicit consent to use this resource is required in order to complete authentication
- Whether the resource appears within the Discovery Document `/.well-known/openid-configuration`
- Whether to emphasize the Resource Name on the Consent screen

## Protected Resources Edit Mode

Once you are in edit mode for a Protected Resource, you will initially arrive at the Details page. 

The Resource ID will be displayed in a `read-only` view. This is the unique identifier for requests.

This section also allows you to edit the **Display name** of the Resource - this is the Resource Name that will be seen on consent screens, along with the Resource `Description` and a `Resource Status` switch:

## Protected Resources Scope Editing

From the Protected Resources tab, there is the ability to add and edit the **Scope** of the resource. 

Select the **Scopes** tab and you will observe the existing Scopes available for this Protected Resource. By default, Admin API is available as a Scope:

At this point, you can switch between the **Details** and **Claims** tab. The options on the Details tab show the read-only **Scope ID** (e.g. "admin_api"), and enable you to edit the **Display Name** and **Description**.

You will also be able to to set various statuses of the Scope for this Protected Resource:

- Whether explicit consent to use this resource is required in order to complete authentication
- Whether the resource appears within the Discovery Document `/.well-known/openid-configuration`
- Whether to emphasize the Resource Name on the Consent screen

Additionally, from within a Protected Resources Scope Edit mode, you will be able to select the **Claims** available for this Scope. This sets the User Claim types that are to be included in tokens, and these Claims types will be added to the list of claim types for the parent resource.
