Which Identity Provider and Administrator Do You Want for Your Service?

If your tenancy supports identity domains, you can select which identity domain you want the service to use when you create an Oracle Analytics Cloud instance. You can also select an administrator for the service.

Note

If your tenancy doesn't support identity domains you can't customize the identity provider. Any Oracle Analytics Cloud instance that you create uses the Oracle Identity Cloud Service you're logged into.
By default, new Oracle Analytics Cloud instances use the identity domain you're logged into, with you as the administrator. If other identity domains are available in your tenancy and you have read access to them, you can select a different identity domain for your service. You can also specify a different user to be the administrator.
Note

Oracle recommends that you use an identity domain in the same region as your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance (or users that predominantly use it) to minimize latency and ensure seamless performance across services. Some regions automatically enforce this recommendation, specifically those regions that became available from May 2025 such as Batam.

You can't switch to a different identity domain after you've created the Oracle Analytics Cloud instance. So it's important to decide which identity domain your organization needs and ensure you have read permissions on that domain before you start. For example, ensure that you (or whoever plans to create the Oracle Analytics Cloud instance) have the required IAM policy to read the identity domain through a policy statement similar to these samples:

  • #Let users in the MyOACAdminGroup read identity domains in the tenancy

    allow group MyOACAdminGroup to read domains in tenancy

  • #Let users in the MyOACAdminGroup read identity domains in the compartment MyOracleAnalytics

    allow group MyOACAdminGroup to read domains in compartment MyOracleAnalytics

The identity domain you select is displayed on the Additional Details tab for your Oracle Analytics Cloud. See How can I find information about the identity provider my Oracle Analytics Cloud uses?
