Give Another User Permission to Set Up Oracle Analytics Cloud

When you activate your order for Oracle Analytics Cloud, you get the Cloud Account Administrator role. This role gives you full administration privileges in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure so you can complete all aspects of Oracle Analytics Cloud setup and much more. There’s no need to delegate this responsibility but, if you want to, you can give someone else privileges to create and manage Oracle Analytics Cloud instances through the manage analytics-instances permission.

In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure you use IAM security policies to grant permissions. First, you must add the user to a group, and then you create a security policy that grants the group the manage analytics-instances permission on a specific compartment or the tenancy (any compartment in the tenancy). For example, you might create a policy statement that looks like one of these:
  • allow group MyAdminGroup to manage analytics-instances in tenancy
  • allow group MyAdminGroup to manage analytics-instances in compartment MyOracleAnalytics
