About Oracle SOA Cloud Service Roles and User Accounts
Oracle SOA Cloud Service uses roles to control access to tasks and resources. A role assigned to a user gives certain privileges to the user.
The following role is created for Oracle SOA Cloud Service: SOA Administrator.
When the Oracle SOA Cloud Service account is first set up, the service administrator is given the SOA Administrator role. User accounts with the role must be added before anyone can access and use Oracle SOA Cloud Service.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Policies
Learn about how to create and manage resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, administrators define policies that grant privileges to users and groups.
To create and manage resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, administrators define policies that grant privileges to users and groups. For example, to create a database for use with Oracle SOA Cloud Service in either an Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure database, an administrator must create policies that grant you access to these services. See Securing IAM in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.
In order to create Oracle SOA Cloud Service instances in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region, an administrator must create policies that grant specific privileges to Oracle SOA Cloud Service.
For example, the administrator must specify the following policy to grant Oracle SOA Cloud Service access to the Autonomous Transaction Processing or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure database:
- Autonomous Transaction Processing database
Allow service PSM to inspect autonomous-database in compartment Autonomous Transaction Processing database compartment
- Oracle Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure database
Allow service PSM to inspect database-family in compartment Oracle Cloud Infrastructure database compartment
