Access Control and Authentication

User Authentication

All users must authenticate before accessing any system. We support:

  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Available for all user accounts
  • Single Sign-On (SSO): SAML-based SSO integration compatible with various identity providers including Azure Active Directory. See our Active Directory / SAML setup guide for configuration details.
  • Just-In-Time (JIT) Provisioning: Via SAML/SSO

Principle of Least Privilege

Access is granted on a need-to-access basis . System administrators use different user accounts when conducting non-administrative duties. All default accounts are disabled.

Account Management

  • Account Creation: Customer administrators manage their own user accounts, with options for JIT provisioning via SSO
  • Account Deactivation: Accounts are disabled immediately upon notification from the customer administrator or in accordance with the agreed-upon offboarding timeline (within 24 hours)
  • Account Reviews: We conduct periodic reviews of employee and contractor accounts to confirm legitimacy, cross-referencing against current employment lists
  • Inactive Accounts: Inactive accounts are identified and disabled or deleted according to our policies

Session Controls

User sessions automatically lock after a configurable period of inactivity.

Internal Access Controls

Access to customer data by RedmineUP personnel is limited to a small, authorized group of employees. Internal authentication to our servers is established via individual passphrase-protected SSH public keys, and our servers accept incoming SSH connections only from RedmineUP's own infrastructure.

Real-World Example

When S-IT Application Engineering & Consulting moved to RedmineUP Cloud, they adopted OIDC-based Single Sign-On with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) through a custom RedmineUP plugin, giving them centralized, custom-domain access management out of the box.
