This document outlines the process for migrating Operator users to the new Ocean identity provider.

Initial migrations

All Operator users are currently stored in Ocean’s platform database. To migrate these users to Ocean’s identity provider, we use a migration service. This service transfers the Operator users to Ocean’s identity provider, creates corresponding user accounts, and assigns them the land_operator role, which is necessary for accessing the Operator portal.

Syncing Operator Changes with Ocean’s identity provider

Operators within the Ocean platform can be deleted, updated, or added. All these changes are automatically synchronized with Ocean’s identity provider, ensuring that the user data remains consistent across both systems.ak.

Operator registration

All operators must first be added to the Ocean platform, where their user profiles are created. This identity information is then automatically transferred to the Ocean’s identity provider through integration services.

External Provider Login

In operator portal operators can have “Is external federation account” flag enabled. This flag is synced with Ocean Identity provider - user gets special role land_brokered_identity, which marks that user can login with external provider.
