Creating Additional OCI IAM Identity Domains for UAT or Non-Production Environments

1. Open the OCI Console using https://cloud.oracle.com.
2. Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security.
3. Under Identity, click Domains.
4. Click Create domain.
5. On the Create domain page, enter the following information:
   1. Display name: Give the identity domain a name. Use only letters, numerals, hyphens, periods, or underscores. The name can contain up to 100 characters. It is highly recommended naming this domain as “UAT.”
   2. Description: Enter a description.
   3. Domain type: Choose Free from the available Domain types.
   4. Domain administrator: If you want to use your administrative user account for this identity domain, then deselect Create an administrative user for this account. Otherwise, enter the details of the user you want to administer this identity domain. Refer to Understanding Administrator Roles in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation for more information about administrator roles.
   5. Optionally, choose a different compartment. For more information, see Managing Compartments in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
   6. To add tagging, click Add tag and enter the tagging details.
6. Click Next.
7. Under Remote region disaster recovery, select Enable remote region disaster recovery. You must be subscribed to the paired region to enable remote region disaster recovery. For example, if your home region is US East (Ashburn), then you must be subscribed to US West (Phoenix).
8. Click Next and then click Create.
9. Ensure that the additional domain is created and the Remote region disaster recovery is in the "Enabling" status.
10. Repeat the steps in Verifying the Newly Created Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Tenancy to collect the details of the UAT domain.
11. Customers are advised to read the Understanding Administrator Roles topic to learn more about the administrator roles in the OCI IAM Identity domain. When any customer user requires access to the Oracle Cloud console, the customer's OCI IAM Identity domain administrator should assign the OCICONSOLE_ACCESS group membership and add users to the category of administrator based on the security levels. An identity domain administrator has super user privileges for a domain. For more information, refer to Adding Identity Domain Administrators in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.

    Note:

    To avoid losing access to the Oracle cloud console when the only domain administrator leaves the company, it is highly recommended to add multiple administrators under the domain administrator.
