Add OCI Manager

Step 1. Add OCI Manager

1. Open the navigation menu in the OCI console. Go to Identity & Security > Identity > Users.

2. Click Create User to add user

3. Enter user information

   • User Type: Select IAM User.

   • Name: Enter your username, unique name within Tenancy

   • Description: Enter a description

   • Email: Required for password initialization through the Forget Password function when entering an email or forgetting a password.

     

4. Click Create

5. Under User Details, click Resources > Groups

6. Click Add User to Group to add it to the Administrators group.

   

   

7. Under User Details, click Create/Reset Password at the top.

8. When the dialog box pops up, click Create/Reset Password again.

9. A One Time Password has been created for the user. IDCS users provide automatic e-mail sending function in IDCS Console, but OCI local users do not yet provide OTP mail sending function. Email the password to the user.

   

Step 2. Log in for the first time as an OCI user

1. A verification email will be sent to the registered email address. Click the link to log in.

   

2. Log in with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Direct Sign-In.

   

3. Change the password after the first login.

   

4. The registered email has been activated. You can now receive OTP by email by entering your email in Forget password on the login screen.

Add OCI general user

Step 1. Add OCI general user

1. Open the navigation menu in the OCI console. Go to Identity & Security > Identity > User.

2. Click Create User to add user

3. Enter user information

   • User Type: Select IAM User.
   • Name: Enter your username, unique name within Tenancy
   • Description: Enter a description
   • Email: Required for password initialization through the Forget Password function when entering an email or forgetting a password.

4. Click Create

5. Create a One Time Password for a user by clicking on Create/Reset Password at the top of the user details, just like creating an administrator. IDCS users provide automatic e-mail sending function in IDCS Console, but OCI local users do not yet provide OTP mail sending function. Email the password to the user.

Step 2. Log in for the first time as an OCI general user

1. In the same way as the administrator user, the email verification and password log in process is performed using the OTP received from the administrator.

2. Open the navigation menu in the OCI console. Go to Compute > Instances.

3. On the lower left target Compartment selection screen, only the root Compartment created earlier is visible, and Sandbox and Production do not have permission.

   

4. Even if you select root Compartment, you can see that you can’t even look up Compute instances because you don’t have additional privileges.
