User and Role Maintenance

This chapter describes the process for managing users and roles. The Administrator can create users and assign the level of access as needed. This chapter describes how to create/ modify/delete a user and assign roles to a user.

Your IPOCS-Demand Forecasting / IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment is configured with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (OCI IAM) for managing users and access

In order to provide application access to end users, the Cloud Service Administrator needs to create the user’s account from OCI IAM. For OCI IAM user setup, follow the steps in OCI IAM User Creation. The user must also be assigned to a group in OCI IAM.

To complete the user provisioning activity, the same user must be added in the IPOCSDemand Forecasting / IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment application and assigned to the same user group. By default, all the roles as user groups will be added to the Application Domain. Only if not present will those user groups need to be added.

IPOCS-Demand Forecasting / IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment is built with rolebased access. Permissions are associated with roles. All roles, including for authorization and application administration, are described in the Oracle Retail Identity Management for OCI IAM Startup Guide .

For detailed information on the tasks related to user and role, see the following sections:

  • User Maintenance through OCI IAM

    • OCI IAM User Creation

    • Managing Users in OCI IAM

For Cloud Service provisions, the customer needs to define required roles as needed for their configuration using OCI IAM. For more details about Atomic User Management (AUM), additional roles available, and access to security details, see the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server and Applications Cloud Edition Security Guide .

User Maintenance through OCI IAM

This section describes how to maintain users through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (OCI IAM).

OCI IAM User Creation

Before users can access the Oracle Retail Inventory Planning Optimization Cloud ServiceDemand Forecasting / IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment applications, it is necessary to provision access to the system for each user and to assign roles to each user to control what functionality will be available to the user. The access provisioning can be done using OCI IAM. After creation of the user in OCI IAM, the Administrator needs to create the same user with the same user group (that is, the role in OCI IAM) in the IPOCS-Demand Forecasting / IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment application.

Note

Each group name must begin with a letter and contain only alphanumeric characters and underscores. It cannot have spaces. User group names are case sensitive.

  • In the Group Label field, enter a descriptive label for the group. This label is displayed when referring to the group throughout RPASCE.

3. Click Finish to add the user group to the database.

Managing Users in OCI IAM

After users are created in OCI IAM, the Administrator can manage user information, manage user groups assigned to users, delete or revoke user access, and reset a password.

The following steps explain how to manage users in OCI IAM:

1. Log in to the OCI IAM application. The Domains view is shown by default.

2. Click the Domain name for which you want to create a user. The Domain Overview page appears.

3. From the Domains Overview page, click Users.

Note

The same user also needs to be deleted from the IPOCS-Demand Forecasting / IPOCS-Lifecycle Allocation and Replenishment application. This keeps OCI IAM and the application synchronized. Complete the user deletion by following the steps for deleting a user in the User Maintenance chapter of the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Cloud Edition Administration Guide .

7. A user can be deactivated by selecting Deactivate from the More Actions menu and then confirming the selection in the confirmation dialog.

8. A user can be asked to reset their password by selecting Reset Password and then confirming the selection in the confirmation dialog. The associated user will get an email with a link to reset the password.
