Required IAM Policies

To provision and manage Data Infrastructure resources, users must have the appropriate IAM permissions.

A policy is an IAM document that specifies who has what type of access to your resources. A policy can refer to:

A compartment is a collection of related resources that can be accessed only by groups that have been given permission by an administrator in your organization.

To use OCI, you must be granted the required type of access in a policy written by an administrator. This requirement applies whether you use the Console, the REST API with a software development kit (SDK), a command-line interface (CLI), or another tool.

If you try to perform an action and receive a message that you do not have permission or are unauthorized, confirm with your administrator the type of access that you have been granted and the compartment in which you should work.

For administrators, the policy in Let database admins manage Oracle Cloud database systems lets the specified group manage databases and related database resources.

If you are new to policies, see Getting Started with Policies and Common Policies.
