Setting Up the Security Administrator Account

The account for the Security Administrator is created during provisioning. The customer provides the name and the email address of the intended security administrator as part of the service order.

Once the order is completed the Security Administrator receives a user account activation email.

The activation email contains:

• Activation URL

• The user name, and may also include the temporary one-time password

Click the activation link or copy the link into new browser window. Follow the instructions on the email and the subsequent prompts to create a permanent password.

As a Security Administrator you will be prompted to enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication (also know as MFA). Choose an authentication factor that is more convenient for you and complete the enrollment.

You will be redirected to your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console Dashboard.

Note: Multi-Factor Authentication is recommended for all service administrators that are accessing the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console. A special Sign-on Policy for OCI console access is pre-seeded in the Default identity domain. After successful login you will be able to explore and adjust the sign-on policies and the MFA setup according to your implementation requirements. For more information refer to IAM MFA in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
