Security Levels for Target Databases

To use a database with Oracle Data Safe, you need to configure security in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) and on the database.

There are two levels of security that you need to configure:

  • Policies in IAM: You need to configure policies in IAM that allow users access to compartments, target databases, network resources, and Oracle Data Safe resources. You may also need to update security lists and network security groups.
  • Roles on the target database: You need to grant roles to the Oracle Data Safe service account on your target database. The roles determine the Oracle Data Safe features that you can use with your target database.

Where to Register Target Databases

You can register target databases from the following locations:

  • Overview page in Oracle Data Safe: Register any target database via a wizard.
  • Target databases page in Oracle Data Safe: You can access the registration wizards and manually register target databases (for advanced users).
  • Autonomous AI Database page in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: Access a link to register an Autonomous AI Database.
