Creating a Oracle Content and Experience Cloud-Classic instance involves the followings steps:

2. Create the Storage User

3. Create Your Oracle Content and Experience Cloud-Classic Instance

Set Up Your Storage Service

Before you create an Oracle Content and Experience Cloud-Classic instance, complete the following steps to set up your storage service:

1. Sign in to My Services using one of the following methods:

   • Click the Access your Cloud Services link in the email with the subject: “Welcome to Oracle Cloud. Your Oracle Public Cloud Services are ready for use.”, and enter your user name and password.

   • Sign in from Oracle Cloud:

     1. Go to http://cloud.oracle.com.

     2. Click Sign In.

     3. From the Cloud Account menu, select Cloud Account with Identity Cloud Service.

     4. In the Cloud Account Name field, enter the name of your cloud account.

   After the storage service is configured, you’ll be asked to create a new container, indicating that the configuration finished. You can continue to the next step without creating a new container.

4. Click the Account tab, and make note of REST Endpoint. This is the Storage URL you’ll enter when you create your Oracle Content and Experience Cloud instance.

Create the Storage User

2. On the User Management page, in the banner, click Identity Console.

8. After you receive the welcome email for the storageadmin user, set the storageadmin password.

9. Click Finish.

10. Expand the navigation drawer, and then click Applications.

11. Find and open your Storage Classic application.

What to Do Next

After your service instance request is approved, you receive an email saying the instance was successfully created and a second email welcoming you to Oracle Content and Experience Cloud. The first email includes a link to your instance (in My Services). The second email includes a link to the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud web client.

Important:

When your service instance is created, a user named CEC_INTERNAL_APPID_USER is automatically created. It’s an internal user that can’t be used to sign in. This user enables communication between Oracle Content and Experience Cloud components. Do not delete this user or some functionality in Oracle Content and Experience Cloud will no longer work.

Next, create groups for the roles in your organization. See Create Groups for Your Organization.
