Configure a user category for proxy users

A proxy user account is used by multiple actual users to perform REST operations in Fusion Service.

You can configure the proxy users to have a different password expiry policy. You're strongly encouraged as it ensures that the regular password expiry rules don't apply to proxy users. You can create a different user category for the proxy users.

Follow these steps to create a category specific for proxy users that uses a password policy that doesn't expire passwords:

1. Sign in to Fusion Service.

   On the home page, select Tools, then Security Console.

2. In the Security Console work area, click the User Categories tab.

3. Click Create.

   The User Category: Details page appears.

4. Click Edit.

5. Enter a name in the User Category Name field, such as ProxyUsers.

   Note: Note this field can't contain spaces or special characters.

6. Click Save and Close.

7. Click Password Policy.

8. Click Edit.

9. Configure the fields for the proxy user password policy. In particular, you might want to set the Days Before Password Expiration to a relatively high number and give enough time for the Days Before Password Expiry Warning.

10. Click Save and Close.

11. Click Done.
