OCI Prerequisites: Set Up Groups, Users and Policies
In OCI, you grant access to tasks and resources in an identity domain by assigning users to administrator roles. You also write policies to control access to a service, such as Ops Insights. Family resource-types (aggregate resource types) are predefined in OCI and they give access to components that are typically used together. For Ops Insights, this predefined resource type is called opsi-family.

| Create an administrator group | Optional | Create an Administrator Group and User |
| Create an administrator user | Optional | Create an Administrator Group and User |
| Create a non-administrator user group | Optional | Create a Non-administrator Group and User |
| Create non-administrator users | Optional | Create a Non-administrator Group and User |
| Create administrator policies | Mandatory | Create and Manage Policies With Policy Advisor |
| Create non-administrator user policies | Mandatory | Create and Manage Policies With Policy Advisor |
Before you can start enabling and using Ops Insights, your tenancy administrator has to create at least one group of administrators (to configure OCI and enable Ops Insights) and non-administrators (to use Ops Insights). There is no requirement to create a separate group exclusively for Ops Insights, you may use groups you already have.
