ERROR_FOUND_OUT_OF_SCOPE
What ERROR_FOUND_OUT_OF_SCOPE means
Identifier lookup succeeded globally, yet the caller’s root, container, transaction, or namespace boundary does not authorize or address that object. The result protects scope isolation.
Where it appears
- open-by-ID file-system operations
- container or directory-relative lookup
- storage APIs constrained by a root handle
Likely causes
- ID belongs to another directory tree or volume scope
- stale ID reused after object movement
- caller supplied the wrong root handle
- scope narrowed by policy or transaction
What to collect
- object ID and volume identity
- root handle path and access rights
- current path of the matched object
- rename, move, or restore history
How to respond
Use a handle whose documented scope contains the object, or perform a path-based lookup after validating authorization. Do not bypass the scope check merely because the identifier matches.
