Set Up VB Studio Users

To extend Oracle Cloud Applications applications with VB Studio, you need to assign roles to your users in both Oracle Cloud Applications and IDCS.

Note that in VB Studio, a single user is assigned a unique name to reflect each Oracle Cloud Applications instance where the user is active. For example, UserA in the development instance DEV1 might be known as UserA@<Oracle Cloud Applications-instance-name>-DEV1 to VB Studio, UserB might be UserB@<Oracle Cloud Applications-instance-name>-DEV2, and so on. This means that you may need to assign roles for the same user multiple times, one for each user name/identity.

There are two set-up procedures that you can use to assign your Oracle Cloud Applications users the suggested roles, depending on whether IDCS role sync has been turned off or not.
  • If you're a customer that has not disabled role sync, you can follow the instructions in Assign Oracle Cloud Application Roles. Oracle Cloud Applications will synchronize those users with IDCS. There is no need for you to manually assign the VB Studio IDCS roles to your users' Oracle Cloud Application roles.
  • If you are a customer that has disabled role sync between your Oracle Cloud Applications development instance that's associated with VB Studio and its corresponding IDCS stripe, after you follow the instructions in Assign Oracle Cloud Application Roles, you'll need to log into the IDCS console and follow the instructions in Assign VB Studio Roles in OCI Identity and Access Management for assigning VB Studio access.
How do you know if role sync has been disabled? There are two ways to find out:
  • You can reach out to your infrastructure and identity administrator, who has identity administrator privileges in the IDCS stripe, and have them review this configuration.
  • You can wait 30 minutes after you assign the Oracle Cloud Applications roles. If you continue to receive an error from VB Studio indicating that you are not part of the Organization, then role sync is not enabled (or not working), and you'll either need to re-enable it or assign VB Studio roles directly by using the IDCS console and the instructions in Assign VB Studio Roles in OCI Identity and Access Management.
As an administrator, you must have certain privileges to assign the necessary roles:
  • In Oracle Cloud Applications, you must have one of these privileges: cloud administrator, service administrator, or application administrator. Everyone who assigns Oracle Cloud Applications roles to their users needs one of these privileges.
  • In IDCS, you must have either an Identity Domain Administrator or User Administrator role. You only need these roles if IDCS role sync has been turned off and you need to assign the VB Studio IDCS roles manually.
This table shows the VB Studio IDCS roles that are mapped to users with Oracle Cloud Application roles:
