Overview
Creating users and assigning appropriate roles is a foundational task in Oracle Fusion Cloud. This guide walks through the complete process — from creating a new user account in the Security Console, assigning the necessary roles, running the required scheduled processes to sync the changes, and verifying the new user can log in successfully. If you want the full setup context behind user access, role design, and security administration, you can also explore the complete Oracle Fusion Security Training.
Creating New Users
Credentials: To log in to the Fusion instance, fetch your credentials from https://portal.oracleerpguide.com/oracle-fusion-cloud-instance-access/
Before creating a user in Fusion, make sure the associated worker record already exists. In many implementations, that setup starts in HCM, so teams often pair this process with broader Oracle Fusion HCM Cloud Training when they need to understand person records, worker lifecycle, and user linkage end to end.

29. The new user has been successfully created, as the Setup and Maintenance menu as well as Security Console are visible. If the user also needs access to functional setup tasks such as ledgers, legal entities, and implementation projects, this security setup is often used alongside broader setup flows like Oracle Fusion General Ledger setup.
