This 15-minute tutorial shows you how to create a WebLogic Server administrator when you use Oracle Identity Cloud Service with Oracle Java Cloud Service.

Background

When you create an Java Cloud Service instance and enable authentication with Oracle Identity Cloud Service, your Oracle Cloud user name is assigned to the Administrators role in your domain’s security application in Identity Cloud Service. You can modify this security application in Identity Cloud Service and assign other users to the WebLogic Server administration roles for your service instance.
