Context cost

Oraclecloud Security Basics loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 595 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Oracle Cloud Security Basics

Overview

OCI IAM policy syntax (Allow group X to manage Y in compartment Z) is the number one enterprise complaint. One wrong policy locks you out of your own resources. One missing verb and your automation silently fails with a 404 NotAuthorizedOrNotFound that looks like a missing resource. This skill is the IAM policy cheat sheet with tested patterns for common access scenarios.

Purpose: Write correct IAM policies, manage API keys securely, and understand the OCI permission model.

Prerequisites

OCI Python SDK — pip install oci
OCI config file at ~/.oci/config with valid credentials (user, fingerprint, tenancy, region, key_file)
Tenancy administrator access (to create policies) or membership in a group with manage policies permission
Python 3.8+

Instructions

Step 1: Understand the Policy Verb Hierarchy

OCI uses four verbs in ascending order of privilege. Each higher verb includes all lower verbs:

Verb	Capabilities	Typical Use Case
`inspect`	List resources, get metadata only	Auditors, read-only dashboards
`read`	Inspect + get full resource details/contents	Monitoring tools, reporting
`use`	Read + act on existing resources (start/stop, attach)	Developers, operators
`manage`	Use + create, delete, move resources	Admins, automation service accounts

Critical: use does NOT include create or delete. This trips up every new OCI team.

Step 2: IAM Policy Syntax

Every OCI policy statement follows this exact structure:

Allow <subject> to <verb> <resource-type> in <location> [where <conditions>]

Subject types:

group <group-name> — IAM user group
dynamic-group <dg-name> — resource principals (instances, functions)
any-user — every authenticated user (use with extreme caution)

Location types:

tenancy — entire tenancy (root-level policy only)
compartment <name> — specific compartment
compartment id <ocid> — by OCID (for automation)

Step 3: Common Policy Patterns

Copy these tested patterns directly. Replace group names and compartment names with your values:

python

import oci

config = oci.config.from_file("~/.oci/config")
identity = oci.identity.IdentityClient(config)

# Create a policy with multiple statements
tenancy_id = config["tenancy"]

# --- Pattern 1: Full admin for a compartment ---
admin_policy = identity.create_policy(
    oci.identity.models.CreatePolicyDetails(
        compartment_id=tenancy_id,
        name="compartment-admins",
        description="Full admin access to the dev compartment",
        statements=[
            "Allow group DevAdmins to manage all-resources in compartment dev"
        ]
    )
)

# --- Pattern 2: Read-only access (auditors) ---
readonly_policy = identity.create_policy(
    oci.identity.models.CreatePolicyDetails(
        compartment_id=tenancy_id,
        name="auditor-readonly",
        description="Read-only access for auditors",
        statements=[
            "Allow group Auditors to read all-resources in compartment prod"
        ]
    )
)

# --- Pattern 3: Compute-only operators ---
compute_policy = identity.create_policy(
    oci.identity.models.CreatePolicyDetails(
        compartment_id=tenancy_id,
        name="compute-operators",
        description="Manage compute, read networking",
        statements=[
            "Allow group ComputeOps to manage instance-family in compartment prod",
            "Allow group ComputeOps to use virtual-network-family in compartment prod",
            "Allow group ComputeOps to read volume-family in compartment prod"
        ]
    )
)

# --- Pattern 4: Network admins ---
network_policy = identity.create_policy(
    oci.identity.models.CreatePolicyDetails(
        compartment_id=tenancy_id,
        name="network-admins",
        description="Network management only",
        statements=[
            "Allow group NetAdmins to manage virtual-network-family in compartment prod",
            "Allow group NetAdmins to manage load-balancers in compartment prod",
            "Allow group NetAdmins to read instance-family in compartment prod"
        ]
    )
)

# --- Pattern 5: Restrict deletes (protect production) ---
no_delete_policy = identity.create_policy(
    oci.identity.models.CreatePolicyDetails(
        compartment_id=tenancy_id,
        name="no-delete-prod",
        description="Allow manage but block deletes in production",
        statements=[
            "Allow group DevOps to manage all-resources in compartment prod where request.permission != 'INSTANCE_DELETE'",
            "Allow group DevOps to manage all-resources in compartment prod where request.permission != 'BUCKET_DELETE'"
        ]
    )
)
print("Policies created successfully")

Step 4: Key Resource Family Types

Policies use resource families, not individual resource types:

Resource Family	Includes
`all-resources`	Everything (use sparingly)
`instance-family`	Instances, instance configurations, instance pools
`volume-family`	Block volumes, volume backups, volume groups
`virtual-network-family`	VCNs, subnets, route tables, security lists, NSGs
`object-family`	Buckets, objects, pre-authenticated requests
`database-family`	DB systems, autonomous databases, backups
`load-balancers`	Load balancers, backend sets, listeners
`function-family`	Functions, applications, invocations
`cluster-family`	OKE clusters, node pools

Step 5: API Key Management

Generate and upload API keys for secure programmatic access:

bash

# Generate a 2048-bit RSA key pair
mkdir -p ~/.oci
openssl genrsa -out ~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem 2048
chmod 600 ~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem

# Extract the public key (upload this to OCI Console)
openssl rsa -pubout -in ~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem -out ~/.oci/oci_api_key_public.pem

# Get the key fingerprint (needed for ~/.oci/config)
openssl rsa -pubout -outform DER -in ~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem | openssl md5 -c

Upload the public key in OCI Console: Identity > Users > Your User > API Keys > Add API Key.

Show full SKILL.md (224 more words)Show less

Step 6: Configure ~/.oci/config

ini

[DEFAULT]
user=ocid1.user.oc1..exampleuniqueID
fingerprint=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99
tenancy=ocid1.tenancy.oc1..exampleuniqueID
region=us-ashburn-1
key_file=~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem

Verify the config:

python

import oci

config = oci.config.from_file("~/.oci/config")
oci.config.validate_config(config)

identity = oci.identity.IdentityClient(config)
user = identity.get_user(config["user"]).data
print(f"Authenticated as: {user.name} ({user.email})")

Output

Successful completion produces:

IAM policies granting appropriate access levels per group/role
An API key pair with the public key uploaded to OCI Console
A validated ~/.oci/config file with correct user, fingerprint, tenancy, region, and key_file
Verified authentication confirmed by a successful Identity API call

Error Handling

Error	Code	Cause	Solution
NotAuthenticated	401	Bad API key, wrong fingerprint, or expired key	Regenerate key pair and re-upload public key
NotAuthorizedOrNotFound	404	Missing IAM policy — OCI returns 404, not 403	Add policy for the group/resource/compartment
InvalidParameter	400	Policy syntax error	Check verb, resource-type, and compartment name spelling
TooManyRequests	429	Rate limited on Identity API	Back off; Identity has ~10 req/sec limit
InternalError	500	OCI service error	Retry after 30s; check https://ocistatus.oraclecloud.com
CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED	—	SSL certificate issue	Update CA certificates: `pip install certifi`

Important: OCI returns 404 NotAuthorizedOrNotFound for both "resource doesn't exist" and "you don't have permission." Always check IAM policies first.

Examples

List all policies in a compartment:

python

import oci

config = oci.config.from_file("~/.oci/config")
identity = oci.identity.IdentityClient(config)

policies = identity.list_policies(compartment_id=config["tenancy"]).data
for p in policies:
    print(f"\n{p.name}:")
    for stmt in p.statements:
        print(f"  {stmt}")

Quick policy validation via CLI:

bash

# List all policies in the tenancy root
oci iam policy list --compartment-id <tenancy-ocid> --all

# Check what a specific group can do
oci iam policy list --compartment-id <tenancy-ocid> --all \
  | python3 -c "import sys,json; [print(s) for p in json.load(sys.stdin)['data'] for s in p['statements'] if 'DevOps' in s]"

Resources

IAM Policy Reference — complete verb and resource-type list
IAM Policy Syntax — syntax rules and conditions
Common Policies — Oracle's recommended patterns
API Key Management — key generation and upload
Python SDK Reference — IdentityClient API

Next Steps

After IAM policies are in place, see oraclecloud-enterprise-rbac for compartment hierarchy design and dynamic groups, or oraclecloud-multi-env-setup for profile-based environment separation.
