6 Access Oracle Identity and Access Management

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides identity and access management capabilities, including authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and identity lifecycle management. It supports Oracle Cloud services as well as Oracle and non-Oracle applications, whether they run as SaaS, in the cloud, or on-premises.

Employees, business partners, and customers can securely access applications anytime, from anywhere, and on any device.

IAM integrates with existing identity stores, external identity providers, and applications across cloud and on-premises environments. This integration simplifies user access management.

IAM provides the security platform for Oracle Cloud. It allows users to access, develop, and deploy business applications such as Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) and Oracle Sales Cloud, as well as platform services such as Oracle Java Cloud Service and Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Cloud Service.

Administrators and users use IAM to create, manage, and access a cloud-based identity management environment securely and efficiently. They do not need to manage the underlying infrastructure or platform components.

To add users to your Cloud Services, navigate to the Oracle Identity and Access Management (IAM) Console.

To access the IAM Console:
  1. Log in to Cloud.Oracle.com, to view all the details pertaining to your cloud order.
    Access the service link from the console to start using your subscribed cloud service.
  2. Enter the Cloud Account Name and click Next to access the IAM Console.
  3. Click Change tenancy option if you want to use a different tenancy.
  4. Ensure that the displayed identity domain matches the expected value.

    Note:

    Cloud environments are created under the Default identity domain. If you need to assign your environment to a different identity domain, raise a Service Request.
  5. Log in with your Username and Password.
    As an Administrator, you can create and manage users with different access rights to the Cloud Service.

    For example, the IAM Administrator has superuser privileges for an Oracle Identity and Access Management Domain. This administrator can create users, groups, group memberships, and so on.
