1. Implementing Buying Experience
  2. Create Users and Assign Groups

Create Users and Assign Groups

Buying Experience uses the Oracle Applications Cloud users created in Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

Note:

You must be a tenant administrator with the User Administrator role to create and manage users in Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

You can create the users for the Subscriber role directly using the POST method of the Individual API endpoint. These users are automatically created in Oracle Identity Cloud Service and are assigned the Subscriber job role. For more information on the Individual REST API, refer to REST API for Buying Experience on Oracle Digital Experience for Communications Buying Experience (Doc ID 2730574.1) at My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com).

For other roles, such as Support Specialist and Back Office Specialist, you must create the users in Oracle Identity Cloud Service and assign the appropriate job roles. Note that the job roles are mapped as groups in Oracle Identity Cloud Service.

Here's how you can create a user and assign a group:

  1. In Oracle Identity Cloud Service, navigate to Users and click Add.

  2. On the Add User page, enter these details and then click Next:

    • First Name

    • Last Name

    • User Name or Email

      Note:

      The user name is case-sensitive.

  3. On the Assign Group page, search for the group, for example, Support Specialist or Back Office Specialist.

    Note:

    A group in Oracle Identity Cloud Service is the equivalent of a job role in Oracle Applications Cloud.

  4. In the search results, select the group and then click Finish.

An email is sent to the user to activate account and reset the password.

Remove Users

You use Oracle Identity Cloud Service to remove users from your application. Only the tenant administrator with the User Administrator role can perform this task.

You can remove users in either of these ways:

  • Deactivate users: The user and all related information remain in the application. The user can be reactivated in the future.
  • Delete users: The user and all related information are removed from the application. The user can't be reactivated.

Refer to the chapter Manage Oracle Identity Cloud Service Users in Administering Oracle Identity Cloud Service for more information.
