# Scalebars

This feature allows organizations to create and manage their own scalebars.

Users with the *Configuration Manager* role can create, edit, and copy scalebars from a dedicated configuration section.

Each scalebar is limited to its own organization and cannot be shared across tenants.

#### Open the Scalebars dashboard

To open the Scalebars dashboard select the *Scalebars* button:
