6.3 Using Identity Console (IDCS)

To create users in Identity Console, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Identity Cloud Service Console, click add_idcs from the Users tile, to add the Application Users.
  2. In the Add User page, enter the following information:
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Email Address
    • User Name

      Note:

      1. Email as user name is not supported. Do not select Use the email address as the username.
      2. Enter a maximum of 20 characters.
      3. Enter Alphanumeric Characters.
      4. Enter only Hyphen (-) and Underscore (_) Special Characters.
      5. The username is case-sensitive and must be created in lowercase letters.
  3. Click Next.
  4. In the Assign User to Groups (Optional) window, select the User Groups according to your user-specific groups or access.

    Note:

    After a user signs in to DFCS, the User to User-Group Mapping created in the IDCS Console will onboard into the Master and Mapping Tables. Later, if you deselect (remove) a User from a Group in the Assign User to Groups Window after provisioning, ensure that you also unmap the User from the corresponding User- Group in the Admin Console. This is a mandatory step to complete the unmapping process.
  5. To create an Identity Administrator or Authorizer User, assign the users to the following:
    • IDNTY_ADMIN: You can use this option to create an Administrator User.
    • IDNTY_AUTH: You can use this option to create an Authorizer User.
