New Web Service User

Purpose: Use the New Web Service User window to create a new user identifying a system for web service authentication. This setup is required.

Note:

Order Broker uses web service users for web service authentication only. Unlike Order Broker user profiles, vendor users, or store associates, web service users do not have authority to any Order Broker screens.

How to display this window: Click New at the Web Service User screen.

Note:

Only users with Web Service Authorization authority can display this screen. See the Role Wizard for more information.

Completing the creation of a web service user identifying a system for web service authentication:

  1. Enter the User or, optionally, change the entered User. The name can be up to 255 positions, and can include special (non-alphanumeric) characters and spaces.

    Note:

    If you use OAuth for authentication of inbound web services, the User you specify here is the Client ID assigned when the Trusted Application (or Confidential Application) was created in IDCS or OCI IAM.
  2. Click Save to save the user; otherwise, click Cancel.

Field Description
User

The name of a user identifying a system for authentication of messages for the web service. Up to 255 positions, and can include special (non-alphanumeric) characters and spaces. Case-sensitive for authentication. Required.

Matches another user? A warning message indicates if the user ID specified when you are creating a new web service user matches an existing User ID for a user of another type, such as an Order Broker user, Store Connect associate, or Vendor user; however, you can still create the web service user. This message also indicates if the user ID matches the Cloud Service User ID of an Order Broker user or a Store Connect associate.

If using OAuth: If you use OAuth for authentication of inbound web services, the User specified here is the IDCS or OCI IAM Client ID used to generate the token.
