Configure Groups

Use the Groups page to enable SFTP access for selected groups, view home folder permissions, and specify the group's folder type.

Before configuring groups, you should configure users.

1. In Oracle Identity Cloud Service, create groups that you want to enable with SFTP access to File Server.

   See Manage Oracle Identity Cloud Service Groups in Administering Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

   After adding groups, you can give them access to File Server.
2. Find the group to configure.
   1. In the navigation pane, click Settings, then File Server, then Groups.

      The Groups page is displayed, with group identities from Oracle Identity Cloud Service shown.

      The table shows each group's status (configured or not configured), whether it is enabled or disabled, and its home folder. When you hover over a row, icons appear for editing its configuration and viewing group details.

   2. Click Search , enter a full or partial name to find, and press Enter.
   3. If needed, click Filter to narrow the results list by groups' configured and enabled status.

      The Property panel is displayed.
   2. Update the fields as necessary.

      Field	Description
      Group name	Specify whether the selected group can currently access the SFTP server by enabling or disabling the group.

      Home Folder Type	Specify how the home folder is defined for groups. Group Default: Assigns the selected group a home folder in the system default location shown on the Settings page. Custom: Assigns the selected group the home folder you choose. Choose the group's home folder in the fields that display.
      Home Folder	View the group's home folder path.

   3. Click Save.
4. Hover over a group and click Open Details to expand group details.
   You can see the group's home folder path and permissions. To change permissions, click Go to Home Folder Permissions .

After configuring groups, you must create and manage folders and their permissions.
