      1. Expand Manage Users under the Administer section in the left navigation pane.
      2. Click Profiles.
   2. On the Profiles page, click New Profile.
   3. On the resulting page:
      1. In the Existing Profile field, select Standard User .
      2. Enter a name for the new profile, for example, API Enabled, and click Save.

      The new profile is now saved, and the Profile Detail page of the new profile is displayed.

   4. Click Edit on the Profile Detail page.
   5. On the Profile Edit page:

      1. Scroll to the Administrative Permissions section and ensure that the API Enabled check box is selected.

2. Create a user account for Oracle Integration and assign the custom role created previously to this account.

   Note:

   If you have already created a user account for Oracle Integration, you can assign the API-enabled custom role to the existing account.
   1. On the Profile Detail page of the API Enabled profile, click View Users.
   2. Click New User in the resulting page.
   3. On the New User page:
      1. Enter a first name and last name for the user. For example, Integration User05.
      2. In the Email field, enter a valid email address.

         The email address you enter is automatically populated in the Username field. Note this username.

      3. In the User License field, select Salesforce.
      4. In the Profile field, select the profile you created previously, that is, API Enabled.
      5. Scroll to the end of the page, ensure that the Generate new password and notify user immediately check box is selected, and click Save.

         The user account is now created, and a verification email is sent to the email address you provided for the account.

   4. Log in to the corresponding email account and click the Verify Account button in the email message from Salesforce. You’re redirected to the Salesforce instance to set a password for the new user account.
   5. Set a password and note the same.

      Subsequently, you’re signed in to the Salesforce instance with the new account.

      Note:

      If you’re shown the Lighting Experience UI, switch to the Salesforce Classic UI.
   6. Generate a security token for the new user account. You’ll need this security token along with the password to access Salesforce using Oracle Integration.
      1. Stay signed in as the new user and click the user name at the top of the page to open a menu.
      2. Click My Settings in the menu.
