5 Getting Started

To get started, you must activate the Data Foundation Cloud Service (DFCS). After activating the Cloud Service, you can onboard Application Users to use the subscribed cloud services.

This document describes the set of actions that can be performed by:

• An Administrator to activate the Cloud Account and onboard Applications Users for the subscribed Cloud Services.
  • Create and Activate your Cloud Account
  • Access the Cloud Account
  • Access the Oracle Identity Cloud Service Console
• The Application Users to activate and use the Cloud Services that are provisioned by the Administrator.
• Activate Application User Account

After the administrator successfully adds an application user, they can log in and activate their cloud account and use the subscribed cloud services provisioned by the administrator.

Choosing Between a New or Existing Cloud Account

Every administrator in a cloud account (tenancy) has access to all subscriptions within that account. To ensure that new administrators cannot access existing subscriptions, you should activate new subscriptions in a separate tenancy by creating a new Oracle Cloud Account. If separate access controls are not needed, you may add new subscriptions to an existing Oracle Cloud Account.
