Hi - we have recently signed up to Oracle Cloud & I am currently configuring security & access for users.
However it seems as though there are two places where you could add users; IAM (Identity Access Management) & IDCS (ID Console Service).
I have been doing the online training which we received but that primarily focuses on IAM.
IAM:
IDCS:
I am confused as to why there are two places & not a single point of control. I am new to this. Furthermore, I would expect creating users in IAM would flow onto IDCS, or vice-versa, but user info does not flow across.
Can somebody please give me some insight as to what the difference is between IAM & IDCS, & where I should be creating users? Why you would use IAM or IDCS over the other?
Futhermore, creating users in IAM & Policies seems to be giving users access to the instances (e.g. OAC, ADW) whereas IDCS does not give them access. Could this be that you can only create Policies in IAM?
Regards.
