Creating One User Account at a Time

Create one user account.

Only identity domain administrators can create user accounts, and only in the identity domains that they are assigned to manage. To create many user accounts at once, see Importing a Batch of User Accounts.

To add a user account, you need the following information:

  • The first name and last name of the user

  • A valid business email address for the user

  • The services that the user is allowed to access

To create one user account at a time:

  1. Sign in to My Services. Be sure to specify the appropriate identity domain.
  2. Click Users.
  3. Click the Users tab.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Enter the following details in the Add User dialog box:

    • First Name: Enter the user's first name.

    • Last Name: Enter the user's last name.

    • Email: Enter a valid business email in standard format. For example, johndoe@somecompany.com. Special characters are allowed within email addresses. However, specifying an improperly formatted email address results in a validation error message.

    • Use email as user name: The user name is the unique identifier for the user. The user enters this value in the User Name field when signing in to Oracle Cloud.

      If this check box is selected, then the system automatically makes the user name the same as the email address unless the user name is currently in use or had previously been in use within the current domain. For these cases, the system adds a number to the email address to create a unique value for the user name.

    • User Name: If you deselect the Use email as user name check box, then you can enter a unique user name for the user. The user name, along with the password and the name of the identity domain, define a user's sign-in credentials. The User Name field accepts spaces between characters.

    • Manager Email: Specify the email address of the user’s manager. You can also search for the manager email by using the search (magnifying glass) icon. This field is optional.

  6. Assign one or more roles to this user. Roles control access to applications, resources, and services.

    You can select one or more roles, and then use the left and right arrows to shuttle roles back and forth between the Available Roles column and the Assigned Roles column.

    • To select a single role, click the role.

    • To select a consecutive group of roles, click the first role you want in the group, press and hold down the Shift key, and then click the last role you want in the group.

    • To select non-consecutive roles, press and hold down the Ctrl key, and then click each role you want to select.

    Alternatively, click the double right arrow to assign all available roles to the user.

  7. Click Add.
    The system adds an account for the user and displays a message if the user account was created successfully.
After the user account is created, Oracle Cloud sends an email notifying the user that an account was created. The email includes the following sign-in credentials:

  • The user's sign-in name.

  • A temporary password. Users are forced to change their temporary password when they sign in the first time.

  • The name of the identity domain.

The user has the required credentials to sign in, but needs to know the appropriate URLs. The identity domain administrator or the service administrator must:

  • Provide the URL for the My Services application to the user.

  • Provide one or more service URLs to the user, depending on the services the user is allowed to access.

Identity domain administrators and service administrators can modify an existing user account and change the roles assigned to a user. Roles control access to applications, resources, and services. If users forget their password, identity domain administrators can reset it.
