Assign Cloud Account Roles to a User

After you create additional user accounts, you can assign roles and delegate administrative responsibilities for these accounts.

Users can be assigned both administrative roles and application-specific roles. For example, if you want a particular user to be an administrator for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic, then assign the Application Administrator role to the account, and then assign the Compute Classic Compute Operations application-specific role to the account.

For more information, see:

Assigning Administrative Roles

To assign cloud account administrative roles to a user, do the following:

Sign in to My Services with your sign-in credentials.
In the dashboard, click Users.
From the side navigation bar, click the Security, and then click Administrators.

A list of available roles is displayed. For example, Identity Domain Administrator, Security Administrator, or Application Administrator.
Expand the role that you wish to assign to the user.
To add a user account to an administrator role, click Add.
Select the user and then click OK.

The selected user is granted the corresponding administrative privileges. See Adding or Removing a User Account from an Administrator Role in Administering Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

Assigning Application-Specific Roles

To assign application-specific roles to a user, do the following:

Sign in to My Services with your sign-in credentials.
In the dashboard, click Users.
From the side navigation bar, click Applications.

A list of relevant applications is displayed. Each application corresponds to an Oracle Cloud service available in your Oracle Cloud Account.
Select an application from the list and then select the Application Roles tab.

For example, if you want to allow a user to administer the Compute Classic, select the application with the name that begins with Compute, and then select Application Roles.
For each of the applicable predefined roles, click Action and then select Assign Users.
Select one or more users from the Role window and then click Assign.

Selecting Application-Specific Roles for Service Administrators

Each Oracle Cloud service available on Oracle Cloud at Customer has a set of application-specific roles. For example, if you want a user to create and manage Compute instances or orchestrations, assign that user to the Compute Classic Compute_Operations role.

For more information about the application-specific roles available for some of the key Oracle Cloud services, refer to the following table. If the service you are using is not included in the table, locate the documentation for the service on the Oracle Help Center. Each service guide includes a standard topic that lists and describes the roles for that service.
