IAM_GROUP(1)

NAME
iam_group -

DESCRIPTION

A collection of users who all need the same type of access to a particular set of resources or compartment. For conceptual information about groups and other IAM Service components, see Overview of the IAM Service <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/Concepts/overview.htm>.

If you’re federating with an identity provider (IdP), you need to create mappings between the groups defined in the IdP and groups you define in the IAM service. For more information, see Identity Providers and Federation <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/Concepts/federation.htm>. Also see IdentityProvider <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/identity/20160918/IdentityProvider/> and IdpGroupMapping <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/identity/20160918/IdpGroupMapping/>.

To use any of the API operations, you must be authorized in an IAM policy. If you’re not authorized, talk to an administrator. If you’re an administrator who needs to write policies to give users access, see Getting Started with Policies <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/Concepts/policygetstarted.htm>.

Warning: Oracle recommends that you avoid using any confidential information when you supply string values using the API.

    The OCID of the user.

  Optional Parameters

--from-json [text]

    Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

    The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

    Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

    For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

  create

•   Description

•   Usage

•   Required Parameters

•   Optional Parameters

•   Global Parameters

•   Examples

  Description

Creates a new group in your tenancy.

You must specify your tenancy’s OCID as the compartment ID in the request object (remember that the tenancy is simply the root compartment). Notice that IAM resources (users, groups, compartments, and some policies) reside within the tenancy itself, unlike cloud resources such as compute instances, which typically reside within compartments inside the tenancy. For information about OCIDs, see Resource Identifiers <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm>.

You must also specify a name for the group, which must be unique across all groups in your tenancy and cannot be changed. You can use this name or the OCID when writing policies that apply to the group. For more information about policies, see How Policies Work <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/Identity/Concepts/policies.htm>.

You must also specify a description for the group (although it can be an empty string). It does not have to be unique, and you can change it anytime with UpdateGroup <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/latest/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/iam/group/update.html>.

After you send your request, the new object’s lifecycleState will temporarily be CREATING. Before using the object, first make sure its lifecycleState has changed to ACTIVE.

After creating the group, you need to put users in it and write policies for it. See AddUserToGroup <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/identity/20160918/UserGroupMembership/AddUserToGroup> and CreatePolicy <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/latest/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/iam/policy/create.html>.

  Usage

oci iam group create [OPTIONS]

  Required Parameters

--description [text]

    The description you assign to the group during creation. Does not have to be unique, and it’s changeable.

--name [text]

    The name you assign to the group during creation. The name must be unique across all groups in the tenancy and cannot be changed.

  Optional Parameters

--compartment-id, -c [text]

    The OCID of the tenancy containing the group. If not provided, this parameter will use the tenancy’s OCID (root compartment’s OCID) from the config file.

--defined-tags [complex type]

    Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>. Example: {“Operations”: {“CostCenter”: “42”}} This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

    The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--freeform-tags [complex type]

    Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>. Example: {“Department”: “Finance”} This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

    The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--from-json [text]

    Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

  Description

Updates the specified group.

  Usage

oci iam group update [OPTIONS]

  Required Parameters

--group-id [text]

    The OCID of the group.

  Optional Parameters

--defined-tags [complex type]

    Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>. Example: {“Operations”: {“CostCenter”: “42”}} This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

    The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--description [text]

    The description you assign to the group. Does not have to be unique, and it’s changeable.

--force

    Perform update without prompting for confirmation.

--freeform-tags [complex type]

    Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>. Example: {“Department”: “Finance”} This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

    The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--from-json [text]

    Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

    The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

    Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

    For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--if-match [text]

    For optimistic concurrency control. In the PUT or DELETE call for a resource, set the if-match parameter to the value of the etag from a previous GET or POST response for that resource. The resource will be updated or deleted only if the etag you provide matches the resource’s current etag value.

--max-wait-seconds [integer]

    The maximum time to wait for the resource to reach the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

--wait-for-state [text]

    This operation creates, modifies or deletes a resource that has a defined lifecycle state. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the resource reaches a given lifecycle state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

    Accepted values are:

    ACTIVE, CREATING, DELETED, DELETING, INACTIVE

--wait-interval-seconds [integer]

    Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the resource to see if it has reached the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

  Global Parameters

Use oci --help for help on global parameters.
