Workflow for Managing Access to Oracle Integration
Now that you understand the key concepts of access management, you can perform the tasks needed to manage access to Oracle Integration.
Where does the user work?
The workflow for giving people access to Oracle Integration varies slightly depending on where the user works, which is determined by what the user does. If the user manages the lifecycle for Oracle Integration instances, they work in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, and you give them access through an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy. If the user designs and monitors integrations, they work in the Oracle Integration instance, and you give them access by assigning them a service role.
The following table provides more details.
Where the person works | Typical tasks | How to give the person access |
---|---|---|
In the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console OR With the Oracle Integration lifecycle APIs |
Creating and configuring an Oracle Integration instance, and managing the lifecycle of an instance |
Grant them IAM policies. |
In the Oracle Integration instance OR With the Oracle Integration built-in REST APIs OR With customer-built APIs (for your integrations) |
Designing and monitoring integrations |
Assign them service roles for Oracle Integration. |
Both places |
All of the above tasks |
Grant them IAM policies and service roles for Oracle Integration. |
Workflow
Order | Task | More information |
---|---|---|
1 |
Determine whether to create additional identity domains |
Every tenancy comes with a default identity domain. An identity domain is a container for users, groups, and other access-related information. You can work exclusively in the default identity domain or create additional identity domains in IAM, as needed, to hold different user populations. |
2 |
Create groups |
Create groups in IAM to make it easier to assign and manage access to Oracle Integration. You can assign roles and policies to an entire group rather than to each individual user. See Create Groups. |
3 |
Create IAM policies for users who work in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console or with its APIs |
Create policies in IAM to provide a group of users permission to manage the lifecycle for Oracle Integration instances in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. |
4 |
Assign roles to groups for users who work in the Oracle Integration instance or with its APIs |
Assign Oracle Integration roles to provide a group of users permission to design and monitor integrations in the Oracle Integration instance. |
4 |
Create users |
Create users in IAM and assign them to groups to give them access to Oracle Integration. See Create Users. |
5 |
Tell everyone they can start working |
After completing all the tasks, inform everyone that they can start working in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console or Oracle Integration. |
