Just wanted to note that [~mosermw] did add a sentence to the 0.7.0 to 1.0.0 
section of the Migration Guide as he suggested in his comment above.  
Specifically, the sentence added was:

Controller Services that will be used by Processors must be defined in the 
Operate Palette of the root process group or sub process group where they will 
be used.  Controller Services defined in the Global - Controller Settings 
window can only be used by Reporting Tasks, not by any Processors.

Thanks [~mosermw] for doing that!

Thanks [~alopresto] .  I think we should create a separate Jira for any further 
UI/UX improvements for Controller Settings and close this one out since it was 
created with the intention of focusing on docs.  I had some thoughts too on 
some possible usability improvements (not related to scoping).

I reviewed this and really like the improvements. I merged it, but I'm not 
closing the Jira yet because I still think changing the title of the tab in the 
Controller Settings dialog and adding a sentence there will help users who do 
not read the documentation (like that would ever happen).

Would it make sense to change the title of the tab in the global Controller 
Settings dialog to "Reporting Task Controller Services" and add a sentence 
description above the table stating that these controller services are only 
accessible by the Reporting Tasks?

Recommend improving the Migration Guidance confluence page for "Migrating from 
0.7.x to 1.0.0" to include a sentence about this as well.
