Adding users

When adding new users to the Oracle Unity application, you will be directed to the Identity Domain on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, User management page. From that page, you can add the user to the list of users for your organization, update the user's details, and assign them access to the Oracle Unity application.

Required privileges to add users and sync users

To add and sync users in Oracle Unity, you need the following privileges.

  • The Instance admin user role in Oracle Unity.

  • The Identity domain administrator role in Identity Domain. Learn how to Manage Users from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Identity and Access Management (IAM) Identity Domains Help Center.

Adding users

There are two main tasks when adding users to Oracle Unity:

  1. Add the user to your organization's user list. This is only needed if the user hasn't been added to OCI IAM Identity Domain previously.
  2. Assign the user access to the Oracle Unity application.

Step 1: Add user to user list

You can start adding users to your organization's user list from the Admin page.

Important: If the user was previously added to the OCI IAM Identity Domain because they have used other Oracle products, then you don't need to add them again. You only need to assign them access to the Oracle Unity application. You can skip these steps and go to Step 2: Assign user access to application.

To add a user:

  1. From the Admin page, click Add new user. You will be directed to the OCI IAM Identity Domain User management page in a new browser window. Click the Create button, the Create user page will display.

    2. An image of the Add new user button

    If you don't see the Add new user button, you don't have all the required privileges to add users. Review Required privileges to add users and sync users.

  2. Enter the name details for the user and the user name. Click the checkbox to use the user's email address as their user name.
  3. Click Create. You will be directed to the Users page and the user will be added to the list.

Step 2: Assign user access to application

You will now need to assign the user to the Oracle Unity application. You can also update the details for the user.

To update the user's details and assign the user to the Oracle Unity application:

  1. Click the user name of the user you just added. The User Details will display.

  2. If needed, click the Edit user button and update the details for the user. Then click Save changes.

    6. Important: If your Oracle Unity account is manually provisioned, then you will need to complete the steps for Syncing users. If your Oracle Unity account is automatically provisioned, you don't need to complete those steps as the user info between Oracle Identity and Access Managementand Oracle Unity will be automatically synced.
