Oracle Data Safe is a multi-tenant service running in a service tenancy owned by Oracle. Service data associated with the instance is stored in a back-end Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless database that’s dedicated to the customer and region and is isolated from other customers' instances. For more information, refer to the Privacy and Security Feature Guidance for Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless available on My Oracle Support (Doc ID 114.2).

Security Levels for Target Databases

To use a database with Oracle Data Safe, you need to configure security in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) and on the database.

There are two levels of security that you need to configure for a target database:

Policies in IAM - You need to configure policies in IAM that allow users access to compartments, Oracle databases, network resources, and Oracle Data Safe resources. You may also need to update security lists and network security groups.
Roles on the target database - You need to grant roles to the Oracle Data Safe service account on your database. The roles determine the Oracle Data Safe features that you can use with your database.

Where to Register Target Databases

You can register target databases from the following locations:

Register any target database via a wizard from the Overview page for the Oracle Data Safe service in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
Register any target database from the Target Databases page for the Oracle Data Safe service in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. You can manually register a target database (for advanced users) or use a wizard.
Register an Autonomous Database with Oracle Data Safe from an Autonomous Database's Console in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
