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.

   You create and manage users and groups in Oracle Identity Cloud Service. See Manage Oracle Identity Cloud Service Groups in Administering Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

   Once added, you can enable their access to File Server.
2. In File Server, search for a group on the Groups page.
   1. From the side pane of the Oracle Integration Home page, choose 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, deleting its configuration, or viewing group details.

   2. Click , enter a full or partial name to find, and press Enter.
   3. If needed, click to narrow the results list by status (All or Configured).
