Step 5: Set Up IDCS Users and Groups

This step is required.

To add IDCS users to VB Studio and its projects, make sure they are added to the identity system and assigned the appropriate VB Studio roles. If you want to add groups instead of adding IDCS users individually, see Manage Your Organization's Groups.

To federate with your existing identity provider, see Federating with Identity Providers.

To add IDCS users manually to the identity system, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Oracle Cloud Console page.
  2. In the upper-left corner, click Navigation Menu the Menu icon.
  3. Under Governance and Administration, select Identity, and then select Federation.
  4. On the Federation page, click the identity service provider's link.
  5. On the Identity Provider Details page, click Create IDCS User.

  10. On the User Details page, click Manage Service Roles.
  11. On the Manage Service Roles page, search for the service with Developer Cloud Service description, click the Actions icon (three dots) and select Manage Instance Access.
