3.1.2.5 Access Oracle Identity and Access Management

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides identity and access management features such as authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and identity life cycle management for Oracle Cloud as well as Oracle and non-Oracle applications, whether SaaS, cloud-hosted, or on-premises. Employees, business partners, and customers can access applications at any time, from anywhere, and on any device in a secure manner.

IAM integrates with existing identity stores, external identity providers, and applications across cloud and on-premises to facilitate easy access for end users. It provides the security platform for Oracle Cloud, which allows users to securely and easily access, develop, and deploy business applications such as Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) and Oracle Sales Cloud, and platform services such as Oracle Java Cloud Service, Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Cloud Service, and others.

Administrators and users can use IAM to help them effectively and securely create, manage, and use a cloud-based identity management environment without worrying about setting up any infrastructure or platform details.

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 subscriber 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. Select the Identity domain from the drop-down list and click Next, to access the IAM Login page.
  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.
