Create an Identity Domain
Create an identity domain in which to configure users, groups, and policies.
This topic applies only to tenancies that use identity domains. See Differences Between Tenancies With and Without Identity Domains.
For more information about identity domains, see Managing Identity Domains in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.
In an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy, your environment includes a root (default) compartment and possibly several other compartments, depending on how your environment is configured. To create compartments, see Create an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compartment. Within each compartment, you can create users and groups. For example, as a best practice:
- In the root (default) compartment, use the default domain for administrators only.
- In another compartment (for example, named Dev), create a domain for users and groups in a development environment.
- In another compartment (for example, named Prod), create a domain for users and groups in a production environment.
You can also create multiple domains in a single compartment.
