Oracle by Example brandingCreating an Oracle Java Cloud Service Administrator

section 0Before You Begin

This 10-minute tutorial shows you how to create an Oracle Cloud user and assign the user to roles for Oracle Java Cloud Service.

Background

Oracle Identity Cloud Service defines application roles for each of the cloud services in your Oracle Cloud account. You can associate users and groups to these application roles so that they can perform tasks like creating, starting, and patching service instances.

What Do You Need?

  • An Oracle Cloud account with active subscriptions to Java Cloud Service and Identity Cloud Service
  • Credentials for an Oracle Cloud user that has been granted the Identity Domain Administrator role.

Note: If you are the owner of the Oracle Cloud account, your credentials can already be used to access Java Cloud Service. In this case, you can skip this tutorial and begin the next one, if desired.

Note: This tutorial is applicable only to cloud accounts that include Identity Cloud Service.

  1. Sign in to Oracle Cloud as an Identity Domain Administrator.
  2. From the top of the My Services Dashboard, click Users.
  3. From the top of the User Management page, click Identity Console.
