Overview

An individual employee or system that needs to manage or use your company’s Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources. Users might need to launch instances, manage remote disks, work with your cloud network, etc. Users have one or more IAM Service credentials ({ApiKey}, {UIPassword}, {SwiftPassword} and {AuthToken}). For more information, see User Credentials). End users of your application are not typically IAM Service users. For conceptual information about users and other IAM Service components, see Overview of the IAM Service.

These users are created directly within the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure system, via the IAM service. They are different from federated users, who authenticate themselves to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console via an identity provider. For more information, see Identity Providers and Federation.

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.

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

Here is an example on how to use this:

oci_identity_user { 'tenant (root)/my_user':
  ensure          => 'present',
  description     => 'my user',
}

disable_corrective_change

Disable the modification of a resource when Puppet® decides it is a corrective change.

(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)

When using a Puppet® Server, Puppet® knows about adaptive and corrective changes. A corrective change is when Puppet® notices that the resource has changed, but the catalog has not changed. This can occur for example, when a user, by accident or willingly, changed something on the system that Puppet® is managing. The normal Puppet® process then repairs this and puts the resource back in the state as defined in the catalog. This process is precisely what you want most of the time, but not always. This can sometimes also occur when a hardware or network error occurs. Then Puppet® cannot correctly determine the current state of the system and thinks the resource is changed, while in fact, it is not. Letting Puppet recreate remove or change the resource in these cases, is NOT wat you want.

Using the disable_corrective_change parameter, you can disable corrective changes on the current resource.

Here is an example of this:

crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
  ...
  disable_corrective_change => true,
  ...
}

When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet® will not modify the resource and signal an error:

    Error: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change
    Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/parameter: change from '10' to '20' failed: Corrective change present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_change. (corrective)

(requires easy_type V2.11.0 or higher)

Letting Puppet recreate remove or change the resource in these cases, is NOT wat you want.

Using the disable_corrective_ensure parameter, you can disable corrective ensure present or ensure absent actions on the current resource.

Here is an example of this:

crucial_resource {'be_carefull':
  ensure                    => 'present',
  ...
  disable_corrective_ensure => true,
  ...
}

When a corrective ensure does happen on the resource Puppet® will not create or remove the resource and signal an error:

    Error: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure.
    Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Crucial_resource[be_carefull]/ensure: change from 'absent' to 'present' failed: Corrective ensure present requested by catalog, but disabled by parameter disable_corrective_ensure. (corrective)
