3 Configuring OCI IAM Identity Domain to Allow User Creation without Mandatory Email Requirement

In OPERA Cloud Identity Management, you can configure the domain to allow user creation without an email requirement. This configuration is valuable for environments where users do not have an email account, and it allows these users to be managed through OPERA Cloud Identity Management.

Note:

For users without an email address, the administrator must create a temporary password for the user. Once the temporary password is created, the administrator must provide the user with the Login URL, the username, and the temporary password. The new user can log in with these credentials and will be prompted to create a password for future login to the user account.

For environments without an email, communication related to user account activation and the forgot password process must be managed with manual communication (that is, by text, in writing, verbal, and so on) between the OPERA Cloud Identity Management Administrator and the user since these users lack an email address that can be used for communication.

Note:

Once an environment is configured with non-mandatory email for users and any user exists without email, you should not reactivate the mandatory email requirement unless all users have been given an email address.

For federated environments, you must configure the respective customer Identity Provider for both user creation without an email address and temporary password generation.

Configure the OCI IAM Identity Domain to change the mandatory requirement for user email during user creation:

1. Log in to the OCI console for your domain with a domain administrator user.

2. Under ‘User settings,’ deselect Primary email address required.

3. Click Save changes.
   
   

After this change, an email address will no longer be required to create a user.
