scope resolution operator angularjs

Question

Is there a way to use a scope resolution operator, like in c++, to use a parent $scope variable instead of the one in the current $scope.

I have two controllers, a Root ctrl and a Settings Ctrl. The Settings Ctrl is the child controller of Root ctrl so inherits it's variables. Both Controllers have a variable named $scope.users. Is there a way I can bypass this $scope.user in the settings ctrl(child controller) and use the one in the root ctrl (parent controller)?

In your child controller you can access the parent controller variable as

$scope.$parent.users

In Angular, nested child controllers will automatically inherit scope variables from parent controllers. So in your child controller you could essentially access $scope.someParentVariable. Another alternative would be $scope.parent.someParentVariable.

I've made a quick CodePen to demonstrate.
