The Oracle Cloud
Console provides a single interface to manage all your cloud services.
Note
The Oracle Cloud
Console features described here are currently available for new and migrated customers.

In the top-right corner of the home page, select Customize.
In the Customize your Home page panel, switch the toggle on or off to show or hide a widget.
Some widgets require appropriate permissions or policies. If you don’t have the required permissions or policies in place, the widget is switched off by default. For more information about individual widgets, read the next topic.

Links to documentation and to Oracle University courses are displayed for easy reference in the Oracle University widget. The documents and courses shown are customized for your tenancy based on the subscriptions you have purchased.
Take a Guided Tour to Learn About the Features of the Console 🔗
The first time you sign in, you are prompted to take a guided tour to learn how to use the features of the Console. If you want to take the tour at another time, click Exit guided tour.
Navigate to Applications and Related Services 🔗
Open the navigation menu in the upper left to navigate directly to services not listed on the home page.
The following image shows an example, your tenancy displays only the applications
available to you.
Click My Applications to display the list of applications available to you.
If you have other applications not shown on the home page, you'll see a link under
Applications for the Classic Applications Console. Use the Classic
Applications Console to manage the applications not yet available on the Oracle Cloud
Console. For information about the Classic Applications Console, see Discover Oracle Cloud Applications on Applications
Console.
Quickly Finding Your Resources 🔗
Use these features to simplify locating your most used services and resources:
You can pin items to create a Pinned Links section of the Home tab
for your most-used Console pages. To pin an item, hover over the menu item and
then click the pin to the left of the item name.
The Recent section of the Home tab displays the links to your
recently used navigation items.
If you're not sure which heading an item belongs to, you can avoid traversing
the service groupings by using the Search box at the top of the
navigation menu.
Understand Regions 🔗
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is physically hosted in regions. A region is a
localized geographic area, and regions are named according to the country, geographical
area, and city, for example: US East (Ashburn), UK South (London), and Brazil East (Sao
Paolo).
With the exception of the home page, the Console provides a view of the resources in a
single region. The region that you are currently viewing is displayed in the top bar of
the Console. If you navigate away from the home page and don't see environments or other
resources that you expect to see, verify that you are viewing the correct region. To
change regions, open the region menu, and select the region you wish to view.
The home page provides a view of your application environments across regions.
Environments that are not in the region you are currently viewing display this icon
. When you click the link on the home page, the Console switches to the region
where the environment is located. Once you leave the home page, you must use the region
picker to view resources in each region.
Note
In some cases, the home region displayed in the Console may be different than the
Data Center Region that you selected or is identified in your order for your
Services. The information stored in your home region consists of only cloud services
administrator credentials that are shared with Oracle to create and manage the
Oracle Cloud account and is information that is required to log in to your account.
Your Oracle Application services production and backup data remain permanently
stored by Oracle only in the Data Center Region that is identified in your
order.
When you create an environment, you can choose the region that you want the environment
to be located in (depending on the regions supported by your specific applications).
Setting the Console Time Zone for Fusion Applications 🔗
You can set the time zone in the Console so that you see time stamps in your preferred
time zone for Fusion Applications pages. By
default, time stamps are shown in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
To change the time zone setting:
Open the Profile menu and select Console settings.
Under Time Zone in the menu, select the preferred time zone.
Click Save changes.
Important
Currently, only Console pages specific to Fusion Applications display the preferred time
zone. These include the environment details and environment family details pages. All
other Console pages will still display time stamps in UTC. When UTC is shown, the
abbreviation is included in the time stamp, so you'll know which time zone the time
stamp represents (for example: Thu, Jul 28, 2022, 13:41:45 UTC).
Open a Support Request 🔗
Open the Help menu () and select Request help. Enter your issue in the Support Chat panel. If the returned information doesn't resolve your issue, click Support Request to open a ticket. For more guidance, see Creating a Support Request.
The first time you open a support request, you're automatically taken through a series of steps to provision your support account. If you want to make changes or if you run into problems, see Configuring Your Oracle Support Account.
View the Infrastructure Console 🔗
To explore and interact with Infrastructure (OCI) services, open the navigation menu, select Home, and then select Infrastructure. See Get to Know the Console for details.

The Console Dashboards service allows you to create custom dashboards to monitor resources, diagnostics, and key metrics.
To view the Dashboard, open the navigation menu, select Home and then select Dashboards.
Applications services support the following widgets:
Resource Explorer Widget: This widget allows you to view resources by compartment. You can only include a single instance of the resource explorer widget in your dashboard.
Markdown Widget: This widget lets you add and format text-based content. You can include multiple markdown widgets in your dashboard.
Required Permissions to View the List of Applications 🔗
To display the list of applications and environments on the Oracle Cloud Console home
page, you must be granted access to view your subscriptions. If you are the default
administrator or are a member of the Administrators group, this access is included.
For users not in the Administrators group, you must be granted access through permissions
specified in a policy. To view the list of applications, you must belong to a group
granted the permissions to read the subscriptions in the tenancy.
The set of permissions required to view the list of applications are:
Allow group <GroupName> to read organizations-subscriptions in tenancy
Allow group <GroupName> to read organizations-assigned-subscriptions in tenancy
Allow group <GroupName> to read app-listing-environments in tenancy
To view the environment details, you must also have permissions to view the specific
