Description of the image policy_flow

This image illustrates the high-level steps that are required to create security policies suitable for people managing Oracle Analytics Cloud.
  • Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) box contains two boxes: Users and Groups
    • IDCS users belong to IDCS groups
    • IDCS users map to IAM users
    • IDCS groups map to IAM groups
  • Identity and Access Management (IAM) box contains various boxes: Users, Groups, Map to, Policies, Compartments
    • Users (federated IDCS users) belong to IAM groups (mapped to IDCS groups)
    • Policies are assigned to IAM groups
    • Policies give user access permissions on compartments that contain one or more Oracle Analytics Cloud instances
  • Analytics Cloud box contains several Oracle Analytics Cloud instances
    • Each Oracle Analytics Cloud instance belongs to a compartment

Step 1 (IDCS Users box): Create users in the federated IDCS.

Step 2 (IDCS Groups box): Create one or more groups in the federated IDCS and assign users to each group.

Step 3 (IAM Groups box): Create groups in IAM.

Step 4 (IAM Map to Groups box): Map the groups you created in IAM to the groups in IDCS.

Step 5 (Policy box): Create one or more policies that give users in IAM groups suitable access permissions to compartments and Oracle Analytics Cloud instances.
