Obtain API credentials for an OCI account

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) does not have a partner or reseller account system.

Each enterprise in the cloud platform will have its own OCI account.

The root admin user of your account will have full access to the OCI portal and cloud.

To work in the cloud platform, create a user with an API signing key. Abiquo supports Federated and IAM users in OCI.
You should decide which type of user best suits your business needs.

You can restrict the API credentials to a set of OCI compartments (which are like Azure resource groups).

In Abiquo, you can use the same OCI credentials for compute and for pricing and billing.

The credentials you will need to enter in Abiquo are the OCI user, fingerprint, tenancy and private key.

To create a federated user or a local user to access OCI through Abiquo, do these steps.

  1. Log in to the OCI console and create a user following Oracle instructions for federated or local users

    1. Federated users (IDCS): https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/GSG/Tasks/addingusers.htm#Add

    2. Local users (IAM): https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/Tasks/managingusers.htm#Managing_Users

  2. Assign your user to a group and/or assign an access policy to your user.
