How is ITCare authentication handled?
ITCare authentication is based on an e-mail address and a password that comply with the standards of the cegedim security policy.
API accounts use the OpenID protocol. More information about the ITCare API can be found at ITCare API.
Is multi-factor authentication available?
Multi-factor authentication is available and mandatory for certain high privilege actions that will require either:
Answering a phone call
Or validating a notification on a smartphone
During the on-boarding process, you will be provided with all the information necessary to properly configure the MFA.

What is an ITCare resource?
A resource is an infrastructure or middleware component deployed in the cegedim.cloud Information System.
It can only belong to one Service (see How are my ITCare resources organized? for the definition of a Service)
A resource is systematically defined by the following properties:
an id: unique identifier of the resource.
a type: the type of the resource e.g. virtual instance, Kubernetes cluster, etc.
a name: more convenient to handle than an id.
a status: defines the state of the resource (active, inactive).
an environment: defines the type of environment of the resource (production, qa, dev, test, etc.).
tags: allows you to tag your resources with customizable keys/values that are queryable.
What are the possible statuses for resources?
Here are the possible statuses of a resource that are visible by the web UI or returned by the API:
How are my ITCare resources organized?
Each cegedim.cloud customer has an Organization that materializes its existence within our IS.
Multiple Clouds can be created within an organization. These allow partitioning of resources and user rights.
By default, only one Cloud is defined for a new Organization. Additional Clouds can be created upon request.
You can therefore define, at the level of a Cloud, who has access to what and what actions can be performed.
It is therefore possible, for example, to have a Cloud that gives full power to your development teams so as not to disrupt production. Within a Cloud, resources are then grouped into Services.
The Services allow you to group your resources in a logical way according to several free criteria:
The scope of an application
By environment
Any other free criteria: by customer for example
The Services do not allow the application of user rights restrictions.
In ITCare, the Services have dedicated pages that allow you to easily consult all the resources attached to them.
