Basic Cloud Deployment and Initial Setups

As part of standard subscription, Oracle provisions two environments :

• Production Environment
• Non-Production Environment(For testing purposes such as SIT/UAT/Development etc.)

If there is any additional non-production environment requirement, customer need to buy additional license for the same.

Initial Setups :

1. OIM Administrator

Once environments are allocated, client will receive an email with Oracle Identity Manager(OIM) administrator login credentials.OIM Admin has the capability to create certain superusers.

• Prepare the Oracle Fusion Applications Super User for user management and configuration
• Provision the IT Security Manager job role with user and role management entitlement

     2)  Super User

Once OIM Administrator creates the super user and provisions him the IT Security manager job role, this user can create all other implementation users (or) create a IT Security Manager or Security Administrator who can look after creating functional implementation users and assigning the needed roles to each user based on his duties.

• Run User and Roles Synchronization
• Create User
• Provision user with IT Security Manager job role

(More or less, OIM Administrator and Superuser mentioned here are doing the same thing. You can skip Superuser role as per your convenience)

    3)  IT Security Manager/Security Administrator

Security Administrator creates all the implementation users and assigns the needed roles.

• Create Implementation Project Manager user and provision him ‘Application Implementation Manager’ and ‘Application Implementation Consultant’ job roles
• Create Implementation User and provision him ‘Application Implementation Consultant’ job role

In cloud, what you can access and what you can setup/perform is completely dependent on the role that is assigned to your user. We will now talk about few important roles :

Application Implementation Manager Role - The user with this role Manages overall implementation of a fusion application. This role is typically provisioned to the user who will be handling the overall project.

• This user is aware of application and module scope(whether Financials or HCM or SCM is implemented etc.). They are aware of all the available offerings for this project along with the scope in a specific pillar(for eg implementing Inventory Management/Product Data Hub modules only in SCM etc)
• Depending on the above configuration, system will automatically create certain tasks
• He can continuously monitor the progress of the tasks

Application Implementation Consultant Role -  This role is generally assigned to the user who is kind of single point of contact who fulfills all phases of implementation.He may be responsible for key configurations, collecting data from client, Configure Setups, Testing and monitoring the progress of the project/phase

Functional Owners - Generally assigned to functional consultants who is working on a specific module (or) set of modules who are responsible for a specific business process/flow.
