Synchronizing All Users and Groups in Oracle Cloud Console (IAM)

To import users and groups, enable and configure synchronization for your application, and test your application to verify that users are provisioned correctly. See Synchronization Steps for All Users and Groups in Oracle Cloud Console (IAM)

There are two methods to synchronize all users and groups:

  • Synchronize users and groups using Import - Performs full synchronization to make sure that all changes made in the source identity domain are reflected in the target identity domain.
  • Schedule synchronization - Makes incremental updates in the target domain:
    • Creates users and groups
    • Updates user and group details
    • Does not add or remove users from groups
    • Does not delete users or groups

Synchronize Users and Groups Using Import

  1. Sign into Oracle Cloud Console (IAM) for the target domain. See Accessing the Oracle Cloud Console (IAM).
  2. Click Applications under Identity domain.
  3. Click GenericScim - Client Credentials application that you created before. See Steps to Complete in the Target Identity Domain in Oracle Cloud Console (IAM)
    Screen to select GenericScim- Client Credentials application
  4. For full synchronization, click Import, and then click Import button.
