Manage Groups with IDCS

As a best practice, you should create groups for your organization roles in Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) and assign the appropriate application roles to those groups. Then you can add users to those groups to automatically assign them the appropriate application roles.

Note:

If you're using Oracle Content Management Starter Edition, IDCS groups aren't supported (only Oracle Content Management groups). To take advantage of the full feature set, upgrade to the Premium Edition.

If you need to manage Oracle Content Management groups, you can do so on the Groups page in your user menu, and you can manage group settings in System administration.
