Overview
An individual employee or system that needs to manage or use your company’s Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources. Users might need to launch instances, manage remote disks, work with your cloud network, etc. Users have one or more IAM Service credentials (ApiKey, UIPassword, SwiftPassword and AuthToken). For more information, see [User Credentials](docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/API/Concepts/usercredentials.htm)). End users of your application are not typically IAM Service users. For conceptual information about users and other IAM Service components, see [Overview of the IAM Service](docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/Concepts/overview.htm).
These users are created directly within the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure system, via the IAM service. They are different from *federated users*, who authenticate themselves to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console via an identity provider. For more information, see [Identity Providers and Federation](docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/Concepts/federation.htm).
To use any of the API operations, you must be authorized in an IAM policy. If you’re not authorized, talk to an administrator. If you’re an administrator who needs to write policies to give users access, see [Getting Started with Policies](docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/Concepts/policygetstarted.htm).
Warning: Oracle recommends that you avoid using any confidential information when you supply string values using the API.
Here is an example on how to use this:
oci_identity_user { 'tenant (root)/my_user':
ensure => 'present',
description => 'my user',
}
