Overview of Users and Security

Access to Oracle cloud applications is secured using a role-based access control model (RBAC). In RBAC, users are assigned roles (often through automated provisioning), and roles are assigned access privileges to protected system resources.

Note: Also check out this playbook: How do I create and manage users?.

In your initial implementation, you create a few types of users, as described in this table:
