Permissions Required to Discover Exadata Infrastructure

To discover Exadata Infrastructure in Database Management, you must belong to a user group in your tenancy with the required permissions on the following Database Management resource-types:

• dbmgmt-external-exadata: This resource-type allows a user group to initiate the discovery, create the External Exadata Infrastructure resource, and add a connection to the storage servers.
• dbmgmt-cloud-exadata: This resource-type allows a user group to initiate the discovery, create the Oracle Cloud Exadata Infrastructure resource, and add a connection to the storage servers.
• dbmgmt-family: This aggregate resource-type includes the individual Database Management resource-types and allows a user group to discover and monitor Exadata Infrastructure. In addition, you can use this resource-type to grant the permissions required to perform the tasks pertaining to Oracle Databases, External Database Systems, and Oracle Cloud Database Systems.

Here's an example of the individual policy that grants a user group the permissions required to discover External Exadata Infrastructure and add a connection to the storage servers:

Allow group DB-MGMT-EXADATA-ADMIN to manage dbmgmt-external-exadata in tenancy

Similarly, here's an example of the individual policy that grants a user group the permissions required to discover Oracle Cloud Exadata Infrastructure and add a connection to the storage servers:

Allow group DB-MGMT-EXADATA-ADMIN to manage dbmgmt-cloud-exadata in tenancy

Alternatively, a single policy using the Database Management aggregate resource-type grants the DB-MGMT-EXADATA-ADMIN user group the permission detailed in the preceding paragraph as well as the permissions required to discover and monitor the associated Database System and its components:

Allow group DB-MGMT-EXADATA-ADMIN to manage dbmgmt-family in tenancy
