Create an Oracle Cloud User Account

Create an Oracle Cloud user account so that you can later create a cloud credential in NavOps.

You must already have signed up for an Oracle Cloud account and have an associated tenancy.

Oracle documentation can be found at Adding Users and Resource Identifiers.

An Oracle user account must be created to add an Oracle credential to NavOps. Once this task is complete, you should have the following information stored in a file:
  • The user account's Oracle Cloud ID (OCID).
This information is necessary to create a cloud credential in NavOps.
