Set up your account

You'll get an email titled:
Action Required: Welcome to Oracle Cloud. Please Add Your Subscription(s) to a Cloud Account to Get Started.
If you have an existing account, click Activate into Existing Cloud Account. We recommend using your existing account to manage all Oracle services.
If you need a new account, click Create New Cloud Account.
Note: The admin running this step should be the admin of the cloud account where you want this subscription added.

You'll get a second email titled:
Action Required: Please Activate Your Services.
In the email, under Access Details, click Create Instance.
Sign in with the temporary password listed in the email. You'll be prompted to change this password.
Temporary passwords expire after 60 days. Contact Oracle Support if you need to request a new password.

On the Oracle Cloud Dashboard, click Create Instance.
Click Create for the Data service. Data is the cloud service instance that hosts both Verification and Data as a Service (DaaS).
Enter a name for this instance, confirm your administrator, then click Create.
Click Create again, to confirm the instance details.

The person you designated as the administrator will get an email titled:
Action Required: Your new Data as a Service instance in Cloud Account is ready.
In the email, click Access Your New Services.
On the Oracle Cloud Console, click the Data application to see the Verification API URL.
Note: The Billing Metrics and Documents tabs are not applicable for the Data service.

On the Oracle Cloud Console application menu, under Account Management, click Users.
On the Users page, click Add to add a user with the DATASERVICE_USER or DATASERVICE_ADMINISTRATOR role.
If the new user doesn't already have a password for this domain, they get an email with a temporary password.

Sign in to Sales or Procurement.
Note: The user must have the DATASERVICE_CLIENT_API_APPID role. For details, see How to Begin.
In the Setup and Maintenance work area, select the Sales - Integrations task Manage Integration with Oracle Verification Services.
Select Oauth Authentication. See Add a Confidential Application to get the Client ID and Secret. On the Add Confidential Application wizard Client page:
For Allowed Grant Types, select Resource Owner, Client Credentials, and Refresh Token. Leave Redirect URL blank.
