Add or edit a user in an Oracle-hosted environment

Note:

This procedure does not apply for self-hosted installations. For more information, see Add and edit a user in a self-hosted environment.

For Oracle-hosted installations, you first create users in the appropriate cloud identity management console, then manage their roles and permissions on the Oracle Empirica Signal Users page.

  1. Perform the following steps in the cloud identity management console:
    1. Create the user.
    2. Provide access to Oracle Empirica Signal as follows, depending on the specific cloud identity management service:
      • If using IAMS, assign the Signal role to the user
      • If using IDCS, assign the Signal group to the user

    Note:

    For more information, see the appropriate documentation for your cloud identity management service, either Managing Oracle Empirica Signal Cloud Users with Oracle Health IAMS or Managing Oracle Empirica Signal Cloud Users with Oracle IDCS.
    After a few minutes, the user is created in Oracle Empirica Signal, and an entry appears in the Oracle Empirica Signal userprovisioning.log file on the application server. The user is provisioned with the default user profile specified as a site option.
  2. Optionally, change the login group, roles, and permissions assigned to the user.
  3. If you plan to use the Topics feature of Oracle Empirica Signal, optionally do the following for newly created users:
Edit the user's roles and permissions
  1. Log in to the Oracle Empirica Signal application
  2. In the left navigation pane, click the Settings icon (Settings icon).
  3. In the Manage Users section, click Edit Users.
  4. Locate the user to edit in the table.
  5. Click the user's Row Action menu (Row Action menu icon), and then click Edit.

    Note:

    You can edit only users in your login group.
  6. Fill in the fields, and then click Save.
