Service Instance Users

Learn about the operating system and Oracle WebLogic Server administrative user accounts that are created when you create an Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance.

Account Description More Information

Account	Description	More Information
VM OS User	The `opc` user has root privileges on the OS running on a VM: Can connect to a VM through SSH for direct VM-level access to an Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance. Can create other OS accounts on a VM using the appropriate OS tool through the SSH interface. The `oracle` user cannot be used to log into a host: Only has regular user permissions to start and stop Oracle products that have been installed on the host. Note that there are no default passwords for either the `opc` or `oracle` user. NOTE: Do not update the `oracle` user password or password expiration policy. The PaaS Service Manager uses the `oracle` user for administrative access and counts on the password being stable. SSH access to the VM by the `opc` user is based on the public key provided at the time the Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance was provisioned. You provide the private key when you log in to the VM as `opc`. Once logged in, as a root user you can switch to the `oracle` user with: `sudo su - oracle`	Access a VM Through a Secure Shell (SSH)
WebLogic Administrator	Can manage Oracle WebLogic Server in Oracle SOA Cloud Service. Can access and use the WebLogic Server Administration Console. Can manage users and groups in the embedded LDAP. Can configure other identity providers. Can deploy and undeploy applications using the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
