Module 1 – Identity Management Sample Clauses

Module 1 – Identity Management. The Identity Management Module purpose is to perform secure authentication for users (e.g., end-users such as Engineer, Researcher, or providers such as Application providers) so that they can access services provided by the HEROES platform. This module will also provide and control authorization for the authenticated users depending on their role and privileges while they use HEROES’ services. The Identity Management is based on the following two mechanisms: • The authentication allows user and provider accounts to identify themselves onto the platform o Ascertain the legitimacy of a user’s or provider’s access request o Validate the correct credentials given by user or provider accounts, giving back a token to propagate the identity o Store the users in internal solution or optional external identity providers • The authorization, allowing requests to be executed depending on the available actions’ permissions granted to the user / provider accounts o It validates correct privileges from authenticated user or provider accounts to authorize requests and access to the HEROES platform services
