# InventoryItem Queryable and Updatable with Products Scopes

The scopes for the [InventoryItemInput](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-01/input-objects/InventoryItemInput) input object and the [InventoryItem](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-01/objects/InventoryItem) object have been relaxed. These objects can now be updated and queried using the `write_products` and `read_products` scopes, respectively.

Specifically, the following changes have been made:

* The `InventoryItemInput` can now be set within `product*` mutations using only the `write_products` scope.
* The `InventoryItem` can be queried with either the `read_products` or `read_inventory` scope.

However, the following restrictions still apply:

* The `inventoryLevel` cannot be queried from the `InventoryItem` object without the `read_inventory` scope.
* The `location` cannot be queried without the `read_locations` scope.

These changes are applicable across all API versions.
