Managing User Accounts

This section lists common queries about Single Sign-On (SSO) and user accounts.

If My Service is Configured for SSO, Does EPM Cloud Manage User Passwords?

If the service is configured for SSO, Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud user names and passwords, and password policies, are managed by the directory server of your organization.

Service Administrators who need to access clients, such as EPM Automate, must have EPM Cloud accounts enabled for identity domain credentials. See Ensuring that Users Can Run EPM Cloud Utilities After Configuring SSO in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators. For these accounts, EPM Cloud maintains passwords.

All users (including automation and system users) must periodically change their passwords. EPM Cloud sends reminder emails every day, starting seven days prior to password expiry, asking users to change their passwords. New passwords must adhere to the EPM Cloud password policies listed on the My Profile page of the My Services application. See Changing Your Password in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators.

My Service is Not Configured for SSO. Is There a Way to Ensure that EPM Cloud Password Policies Mirror that of My Company?

No. EPM Cloud password policies cannot be changed to mirror the policies of an organization. If you want to use your own password policies, configure SSO.
