OCI IAM User Creation

Before users can access the Oracle Retail Assortment Planning Cloud Service applications, it is necessary to provision access to the system for each user and to assign roles to each user to control what functionality will be available to the user. The access provisioning can be done using OCI IAM. After creation of the user in OCI IAM, the Administrator needs to create the same user with the same user group (that is, the role in OCI IAM) in the Oracle Retail Assortment Planning Cloud Service application.

Note:

The OCI IAM Application URL and login with the required administrator access are needed to perform the following steps. The welcome email sent by Oracle includes the URL.

The following steps explain how to define users and assign roles for a new user:

  1. Log in to the OCI IAM application. The Domains view is shown by default.

    This figure shows the Domains view.

  2. Click the Domain name for which you want to create a user. The Domain Overview page appears.

  3. From the Domains Overview page, click Users.

  4. From the Domain Users page, click Create User. The Create User page appears.

  5. Provide the First Name, Last Name, and unique user name. If the Use the email address as the username option is checked, the system automatically takes the email address as the user name.

    Note:

    Oracle recommends using the email address as the user name.

  6. Assign the user to a group. Typically, this will be the group specific to the provisioned service or application. The user can be assigned to more than one user group, but it is recommended to assign one group to one user.

  7. Click Create to complete the user creation in OCI IAM.
