Database Management Permissions

To enable Database Management for Oracle Cloud Databases, you must belong to a user group in your tenancy with the required permissions on the following Database Management resource-types:

• dbmgmt-private-endpoints: This resource-type allows a user group to create Database Management private endpoints to communicate with Oracle Cloud Databases.
• dbmgmt-work-requests: This resource-type allows a user group to monitor the work requests associated with Database Management private endpoints.
• dbmgmt-family: This aggregate resource-type includes all individual Database Management resource-types and allows a user group to enable Database Management and use all its features.

Here are examples of the policies that grant the DB-MGMT-ADMIN user group the permission to create a Database Management private endpoint and monitor the work requests associated with the private endpoint:

Allow group DB-MGMT-ADMIN to manage dbmgmt-private-endpoints in tenancy

Allow group DB-MGMT-ADMIN to read dbmgmt-work-requests in tenancy

Alternatively, a single policy using the Database Management aggregate resource-type grants the DB-MGMT-ADMIN user group the same permissions detailed in the preceding paragraph:

Allow group DB-MGMT-ADMIN to manage dbmgmt-family in tenancy

For more information on Database Management resource-types and permissions, see Policy Details for Database Management.

Other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Service Permissions

In addition to Database Management permissions, the following Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service permissions are required to enable Database Management for Oracle Cloud Databases.

• Base Database Service and Exadata Cloud Infrastructure permission: To enable Database Management for Oracle Cloud Databases, you must have the use permission on the Base Database Service or Exadata Cloud Infrastructure resource-types. Alternatively, a single policy using the aggregate resource-type for Oracle Cloud Databases, database-family, can be used.

  Here's an example of a policy that grants the DB-MGMT-ADMIN user group the permission to enable Database Management for all Oracle Cloud Databases in the tenancy:

  Allow group DB-MGMT-ADMIN to use database-family in tenancy

  For more information on specific Base Database Service and Exadata Cloud Infrastructure resource-types and permissions, see Details for Base Database Service and Details for Exadata Cloud Infrastructure.

• Networking service permissions: To work with the Database Management private endpoint and enable communication between Database Management and the Oracle Cloud Database, you must have the manage permission on the vnics resource-type and the use permission on the subnets resource-type and either the network-security-groups or security-lists resource-type.

  Here are examples of the individual policies that grant the DB-MGMT-ADMIN user group the required permissions:

  Allow group DB-MGMT-ADMIN to manage vnics in tenancy

  Allow group DB-MGMT-ADMIN to use subnets in tenancy

  Allow group DB-MGMT-ADMIN to use network-security-groups in tenancy

  or

  Allow group DB-MGMT-ADMIN to use security-lists in tenancy

  Alternatively, a single policy using the Networking service aggregate resource-type grants the DB-MGMT-ADMIN user group the same permissions detailed in the preceding paragraph:

  Allow group DB-MGMT-ADMIN to manage virtual-network-family in tenancy

  For more information on the Networking service resource-types and permissions, see the Networking section in Details for the Core Services.

• Vault service permissions: To create new secrets or use existing secrets when enabling Database Management for Oracle Cloud Databases, you must have the manage permission on the secret-family aggregate resource-type.

  Here's an example of the policy that grants the DB-MGMT-ADMIN user group the permission to create and use secrets in the tenancy:

  Allow group DB-MGMT-ADMIN to manage secret-family in tenancy

  In addition to the user group policy for the Vault service, the following service policy is required to grant Database Management (dpd) the permission to read database user password secrets and database wallet secrets (if the TCPS protocol was used to connect to the database):

  Allow service dpd to read secret-family in compartment ABC

  If you want to grant the permission to read secrets only from a specific vault, then update the policy to:

  Allow service dpd to read secret-family in compartment ABC where target.vault.id = 'Vault OCID'

  For more information on the Vault service resource-types and permissions, see Details for the Vault Service.
