The following sections describes administrative operations in the Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder Deployer Web Service API:
The following designations apply to parameters in the "Other Parameters in HTTP Query String" sections of each operation:
1..1 : Parameter is required, and can have exactly one occurrence.
1..* : Parameter is required, and can have multiple occurrences.
0..1 : Parameter is optional, and can have exactly one occurrence, if provided.

The response types for the operations correspond to definitions in the Web service schema. See Appendix A, "Web Service Schema".
This operation adds user configuration information for the named user to the target. The purpose of AddTargetUser, in addition to indicating that a user will be using the target, is to supply user specific information to be used when interacting with the target, if required.
For the Deployer which is used with Oracle VM, AddTargetUser is called by the Cloud Administrator to grant access to the target. In this case, no other properties are provided because the Cloud Administrator provides credentials for the virtualization environment when the target is created. Application Administrators are not allowed to call this operation for the generic Deployer because the credentials must be protected.
