3 User and Role Maintenance

This chapter describes the process for managing users and roles. The Administrator can create users and assign the level of access as needed. This chapter describes how to create/modify/delete a user and assign roles to a user.

Your Assortment Planning Cloud Service is configured with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (OCI IAM) for managing users and access.

In order to provide application access to end users, the Cloud Service Administrator needs to create the user's account from OCI IAM. For OCI IAM user setup, follow the steps in OCI IAM User Creation. The user must also be assigned to a group in OCI IAM.

To complete the user provisioning activity, the same user must be added in the Assortment Planning Cloud Service application and assigned to the same user group.

AP Cloud Service is built with role-based access. For information on the available roles, see the Retail Identity Management for OCI IAM document at https://docs.oracle.com/en/industries/retail/retail-identity-management/latest/books.html.

The Administrator can assign the above role or roles to the user. Follow the steps in Managing Users in OCI IAM.

For detailed information on the tasks related to user and role, see the following sections:

• User Maintenance through OCI IAM:

  • OCI IAM User Creation

  • Managing Users in OCI IAM

• Bulk Loading of User and User Groups

For AP Cloud Service provisions, the customer needs to define required roles as needed for their configuration using OCI IAM.
