Oracle Financial Services Accounting Foundation Cloud Service is secure as delivered. The purpose of this guide is to explain how to enable user access to the Functions and Data in the Oracle Financial Services Accounting Foundation Cloud Service. You perform some of the tasks in this guide mainly during implementation. Most, however, can also be performed later and as the requirements emerge.
This topic summarizes the scope of this guide and identifies the contents of each chapter.
The Oracle Financial Services Accounting Foundation Cloud Service is a Platform to host Software as a Service (SaaS) Applications from Oracle’s Financial Services Global Business Unit (FSGBU). The platform provides a secure and consistent environment for the deployment and operation of SaaS Applications. It also provides unified security features to all services deployed on the platform in the areas of User Identity Management and the Management of Access Entitlements provisioned to users.
Topics:
The Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) Console is where you (administrators users) can configure Users and Groups, Oracle Cloud Services and so on.
To access the IDCS Console, follow these steps:
1. Enter the IDCS URL in the Browser's URL Address Bar.
The Oracle Cloud Account Sign In Window appears.
2. Log in to Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS).
3. Select Oracle Cloud Services.
For more information, see Access Service Consoles from Administering Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
NOTE:
· Ensure the AFCS Cloud Administrator who creates your account has granted you administrative privileges to access the IDCS Console.
· For more information on the privileges available, see Users Roles and Privileges.
· If the AFCS Cloud Administrator has granted you only Identity Management privileges and no other AFCS privilege, you are automatically redirected to the IDCS Console specific to AFCS after logging in successfully.
· After
a User signs in to the AFCS Cloud Service, the User to User-Group
Mapping created in the IDCS Console will
onboard into the Master and Mapping Tables.
For more information about how to Unmap a User from a Group in the IDCS Console, see the Create
Application Users Section in the Get Started Guide.
During implementation, you prepare your Oracle Application's Cloud Service for the Service Users. The decisions made during this phase determine how you manage users by default. Most of these decisions can be overridden. However, for efficient user management, Oracle recommends that you configure your environment to reflect both enterprise policy and support most or all users.
For more information, see the User Summary Page and User Roles and Privileges.
During implementation, you can use the Create User task to create Test Service Users. By default, this task creates a minimal person record and a user account. After implementation, you should use the Hire an Employee task to create Service Users. The Create User task isn't recommended after the implementation is complete. This topic describes how to create a test user using the Create User task.
For more information, see the Create Application Users Section in the AFCS Get Started Guide.
