Adding Users to a Group

Add users to a group to give them the same privileges (roles and resource grants) the group possesses.

WARNING:

As a best practice for migrating to newer versions, you should not add groups to other groups. See Best Practices for Managing your Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic Instance.

You also assign roles to users by adding them to the pre-seeded group associated with the role. For example, if you want to assign a user the API Manager role, you must add them to the APIManagers group that is created when you provision your service instance to give them API Management privileges. See Roles.

You must use the WebLogic Administrator account, created when you provisioned your Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic instance, to add groups in the Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control console for your instance.

This task assumes that you’ve already signed in to the Fusion Middleware Control console for your Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic instance. See Signing in to the Fusion Middleware Control Console for Your Instance.

1. Expand the WebLogic Server Domain menu, select Security, and then click Users and Groups.

4. Click the Groups tab.
5. In the Available list, select the group(s) you want to add this user to, and then click the > (Move selected items to: Chosen) icon to move the groups to the Chosen list.

   These groups are created when you provision your service instance and correspond to the specified role:

   Group	Associated Role

   APIGatewayRuntimeUsers	Gateway Runtime
   APIManagers	API Manager
