Create IDCS Users

You can create Oracle Identity Cloud Service users to add to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IAM groups for specific access. To simplify access and permission management, grant permissions to groups instead of directly to users.

Does not use identity domains This topic applies only to tenancies that do not use identity domains. See Differences Between Tenancies With and Without Identity Domains.

  1. Open the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure navigation menu and click Identity & Security. Under Identity, click Federation.
  2. On the Federation page, select the OracleIdentityCloudService link to view the default Oracle Identity Cloud Service federation.
  3. Click Create IDCS User.
  4. Complete the fields to identify the user. In the Groups field, select the IDCS group you want this user to belong to.
  5. Click Create.
    A message is displayed that the user was created. Optionally, click the Email Password Instructions button to email a change password link to the new user.

    The new user is displayed in the table of users. Notice that the user's federation was automatically triggered if the user was added to a federated IDCS group, and is displayed in the OCI Synched User column.
