Creating a Child Tenancy

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. Open the navigation menu and select Governance & Administration. Under Organization Management, select Tenancies.
  2. On the Tenancies list page, select Create new tenancy.
  3. In the Create new tenancy panel's Tenancy details step, enter a name for the child tenancy in Tenancy name.

     The tenancy name must be unique and all lowercase without any special characters. Avoid entering confidential information.

  4. From Home region, select a region. The home region is one of the parent's subscribed regions.
  5. In Administrator email and Confirm Email, enter and confirm the email address of the tenancy administrator.
  6. In the Subscription mapping step, you can select the subscription that you want to be associated with the new created child tenancy.

     The created child tenancy consumes from your organization's default subscription, unless you select a different subscription in this step. Only Oracle Universal Credits subscriptions appear as alternate subscription selections.

  7. Select Next.
  8. In the Governance rules step, select governance rules to attach to the tenancy, or skip this step and attach them later. You can attach or detach rules later, or opt the tenancy out of organization governance in the future.

     If you want to select governance rules now, select them from the table. You can filter the table by the rule type (tag, allowed regions, quotas), or the targeted tenancy. You can expand any rule entry and view its details.

     Otherwise, if no governance rules are selected, a message indicates that you're choosing to skip attaching governance rules for now.

  9. Select Next.
  10. In the Review summary step, verify the child tenancy settings that you specified.
  11. Select Create tenancy.

      A notification is displayed, indicating that you successfully requested to create a child tenancy. If the request completes successfully, then your authentication credentials are sent by email momentarily.

  The child tenancy administrator receives instructions to activate the tenancy, and to set up a password and MFA.
