Learn about Publisher
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Publisher service is an extension to the existing Oracle Cloud Marketplace Partner Portal service.
Using the Publisher service, you can create and publish listings and artifacts in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Marketplace. You can also create term versions and add legal documents for a listing that you want the customers to use and accept.
Resource Identifiers
Most types of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources have a unique, Oracle-assigned identifier called an Oracle Cloud ID (OCID). For information about the OCID format and other ways to identify your resources, see Resource Identifiers.
While the resources created from Publisher images, stacks, container images, and helm charts have an OCID to identify them, the listings themselves have a listing ID and a package version ID for every package version in the listing. Listing IDs are numeric values. Package version IDs are string values. Listing IDs and Package version IDs are unique to Publisher and unrelated to OCIDs.
Ways to Access Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
You can access Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) by using the Console (a browser-based interface), REST API, or OCI CLI. Instructions for using the Console, API, and CLI are included in topics throughout this documentation. For a list of available SDKs, see Software Development Kits and Command Line Interface.
Authentication and Authorization
Each service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure integrates with IAM for authentication and authorization, for all interfaces (the Console, SDK or CLI, and REST API).
An administrator in your organization needs to set up groups , compartments , and policies that control which users can access which services, which resources, and the type of access. For example, the policies control who can create new users, create and manage the cloud network, launch instances, create buckets, download objects, and so on. For more information, see Getting Started with Policies. For specific details about writing policies for each of the different services, see Policy Reference.
If you're a regular user (not an administrator) who needs to use the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources that your company owns, contact your administrator to set up a user ID for you. The administrator can confirm which compartment or compartments you should be using.
For the actual policy statements required to perform tasks related to Publisher, see the topic specific to the task.
