Link an Existing User Account to a Person Record

By default, when you create person records, user accounts are created automatically in your LDAP directory and linked to those person records. However, this automatic creation of user accounts can be disabled for the enterprise.

For example, you may have some other way of managing user accounts, or user accounts may already exist in your LDAP directory. In this case, you must link the existing user account manually to the person record. This topic explains how to link an existing user account to a person record in Oracle HCM Cloud. You must have access to the person record to perform this task.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Navigator > My Team > Users and Roles to open the Search Person page. You can also search for the Manage Users task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

2. Search for and select the user whose user account you want to link. The Edit User page will open.

3. In the User Details section, click Link User Account.

4. In the Link User Account dialog box, search for and select the user name.

   The list contains only those user accounts that aren't already linked to an Oracle HCM Cloud person record.

5. Click OK to close the Link User Account dialog box.

6. Click Save.

Any roles that were already assigned externally and manually to the linked user account appear in the Current Roles section. If the user doesn't qualify for those roles, based on current employment information, then their removal is requested. The Role Requests section of the Manage Users task shows the roles for which the user qualifies. You can add roles, as appropriate, before clicking Save.
