Learn how to create a user.

Using the Console

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security. Under Identity, click Domains. A list of the domains in the tenancy is displayed.
  2. Click the name of the domain where you want to create a user.
  3. In the upper left corner, under Identity domain, click Users.
  4. Click Create user.
  5. Enter the following:
    1. Name:A unique name or email address for the user. For tips about what value to use, see Working with Users. The name must be unique across all users in your tenancy. You can't change this value later. The name must meet the following requirements: No spaces. Only Basic Latin letters (ASCII), numerals, hyphens, periods, underscores, +, and @.
    2. Description: This value could be the user's full name, a nickname, or other descriptive information. You can change this value later.
    3. Email: Enter an email address for the user. This email address is used for password recovery. The email address must be unique in the tenancy.

      If the user forgets their password, they can click Forgot Password on the sign in page, and a temporary password is generated and sent to the email address provided here. The user or an administrator can also update the email address can also later.

    4. Tags: If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, skip this option (you can apply tags later) or contact the administrator.
  6. Click Create.
