Manage Delegation Controls

Learn how to control access to Exadata VM clusters on Oracle Exadata Database Service on Cloud@Customer and cloud VM clusters on Oracle Exadata Database Service on Dedicated Infrastructure.

Create Delegation Control

To create a Delegation Control using the Oracle Cloud Console, use this procedure.

  1. Log in to your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy.
  2. Open the navigation menu. Under Oracle AI Database, click Delegate Access Control.
  3. Click Delegation Controls.
  4. Click Create delegation control.
  5. In the Compartment field, select a compartment where you want to create the Delegation Control.
    To find the compartment in the tenancy, you can search for a string in the compartment name. For example, if there are three compartments in the tenancy with "Exadata" in the compartment name, then entering the search phrase "Exadata" returns all three of those compartments.
  6. In the Delegation control name field, enter an Delegation Control name to which you want to grant access to your compartment.

    For the Description field that is associated with that Delegation Control name, provide information that explains the purpose of this control, and other access information that you require for regulatory compliance.

  7. In the Subscriptions field, select one or more subscriptions.
  8. In the Resource Type section, choose resource type: Exadata VM Cluster.
  9. In the Deployment Platform section, you can select either Cloud@Customer or Oracle Cloud if you have chosen the resource type Exadata VM Cluster.
  10. In the Delegated resources section, select the resources (Exadata VM cluster or cloud VM cluster) and then select the resources from the Resources drop-down list.
    The selected resource will be listed below. You can remove them as and when needed by clicking Remove.
  11. In the Select actions to pre-approve field, choose particular actions that you want to grant automatically.
  12. Requires Second approval: Enable this option to add a second level of approval to access requests. An access request is considered fully approved only after it receives two approvals.
    Note

    • A banner is displayed on the Access Request details page indicating that this Access Request requires 2 approvals to move to the Approved state.
    • A banner is displayed if there are any pending approvals.
    • If any of the two users reject the Access Request, then the Access Request is moved to the Rejected state.
    • If one user approves the Access Request now (Approve Now) and the other user approves it for later (Approve Later), then Approve Later takes precedence.
  13. Auto-approve access requests during the maintenance window: Enable this option to auto-approve access requests to Oracle operators to perform system maintenance operations.
  14. In the Notification requirements section, select a notification topic.

    Only JSON notification message format is supported.

    Notifications related to support access requests will be published on the selected topic. You must select a valid topic or create one. For more information, see Creating a Topic.

  15. (Optional) To specify additional features, select Advanced options. In the Tag Namespace field, consider adding a tag namespace (an identifying text string applied to a set of compartments), or tagging the control with an existing tag namespace.

    For more information, see Overview of Tagging.

  16. Click Create.
