The Oracle Utilities Cloud Services delegates the responsibility of authentication of the online users to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM). This allows security administrators to centrally manage cloud users centrally.

The Oracle Utilities Cloud Services uses Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), OAuth2, and other protocols to integrate to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM). This integration is automatically deployed when the Oracle Utilities Cloud Services is deployed. Synchronization between the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) and the Oracle Utilities Cloud Services uses the Identity Cloud Adapter.
