To add or remove a role for a user in Oracle Cloud, you need to use the Security Console. Roles control the access and permissions users have within Oracle Cloud applications, so adding or removing roles will change their ability to perform certain tasks.
Steps to Add or Remove a Role in Oracle Cloud:
1. Log in to Oracle Cloud
- Log in using your administrator credentials.
2. Navigate to the Security Console
- From the Navigator menu (top-left corner), go to Tools and select “Security Console”.
3. Search for the User
- In the Security Console, go to the Users tab.
- Use the search bar to find the user by entering their username, email address, or name.
4. Open User Details
- Once the search results appear, click on the user’s name to open the user’s details.
5. Add or Remove Roles
- In the User Details page, you’ll see a section titled Roles that shows all the roles currently assigned to the user.
- To add a role:
- Click the Add Role button.
- A list of available roles will appear. You can search for the role you want to assign.
- Select the role(s) and click Add.
- To remove a role:
- In the Roles section, click the X or Remove button next to the role you want to remove.
6. Save the Changes
- After adding or removing roles, click Save and Close to apply the changes.
7. Verify the Changes
- Once the roles are updated, you can have the user log out and log back in to Oracle Cloud to ensure the new roles and permissions take effect.
Important Considerations:
- Role Dependencies: Some roles may have dependencies or hierarchies. Removing a role could impact other associated roles or permissions, so ensure the user will not lose critical access unintentionally.
- Security Policies: Be cautious when assigning powerful roles (such as those with administrative privileges) to ensure compliance with your organization’s security policies.
- Provisioning Time: Changes to roles may take a few minutes to propagate, so the user may need to wait before they can see the effect of their new or removed role.
Summary:
- Use the Security Console to search for the user and then add or remove roles by selecting or unselecting the appropriate roles from the Roles section.
- Save your changes, and the user’s access and permissions will be updated accordingly.
This process ensures that you can efficiently manage user access and security within Oracle Cloud by controlling the roles they are assigned.
