2.2.4 Access the 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 lifecycle 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, you need to navigate to the Oracle Identity and Access Management (IAM) Console.

To access the IAM Console, perform the following steps:
  1. Browse to Cloud.Oracle.com.
    The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console is the console where the information about your cloud order is available. You need to access the service link from the console to start using your 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.
    The IAM login page is displayed.
  5. Log in with your User Name and Password.
As an Administrator, you can create users to have 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.
