» oci_identity_group

This resource provides the Group resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity service.

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.

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.

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. After creating the group, you need to put users in it and write policies for it. See AddUserToGroup and CreatePolicy.
