Configure Users

On the Users page, you give people access to File Server, configure people's public keys, and specify details for their home folders.

Before configuring users, you should Configure File Server Settings.

1. In Oracle Identity Cloud Service, create users whom you want to access File Server.

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

   After adding users, you can give them access to File Server.
2. Find the user to configure.
   1. In the navigation pane, click Settings, then File Server, then Users.

      The Users page displays a list of user identities from Oracle Identity Cloud Service. The table shows whether each user is configured and enabled, as well as their home folder. When you hover over a row, icons appear for configuring users and viewing user 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 users' configured and enabled status.

3. Configure a user's access to File Server.
   1. Hover over a user and click Configure .
   2. Update the fields as necessary.

      Field	Description
      User's name	Enable or disable the user. Only enabled users can access File Server. You can configure a user and leave the user disabled until they need access to File Server. You can also temporarily disable the user's File Server access without removing their public key and permissions.
      Authentication Public Key	If you chose key based authentication as the authentication type on the Settings page, configure the user's public ssh key. Use these key fields to upload, view, or delete the selected user's public key. Click Upload public key , then Choose File, and locate a public key file. The public key must be a valid OpenSSH format key. If needed, delete a public key or upload a new one.
      Home Folder Type	Specify how the home folder is defined for users. User Default: Assigns the selected user a home folder in the default location shown on the Settings page. Group Inherited: Skips assigning the selected user an individual home folder. Instead, the user inherits the home folder of any groups configured for SFTP access of which the user is a member. Custom: Assigns the selected user the home folder you choose. Choose the user's home folder in the fields that display.
      Home Folder	View the user's home folder path.

   3. Click Save.
4. View user details.
   1. Hover over a user and click Open Details .
      You can see the groups the user is assigned to and the user's home folder path and permissions.
      If an unconfigured user is part of an active group, all properties from the groups are displayed in the list and the details section and status are grayed out.
   2. To view and change permissions of the user's home folder, next to Home Folder Permissions, click Go to Home Folder Permissions

After configuring users, you must configure group access.
