Yes, che.openshift.io is the Eclipse Che hosted by Red Hat. Che server is running on OpenShift Dedicated and user base is spread across multiple OpenShift Online clusters where workspaces are created.
In order to do this, one needs to execute the following curl request using username or email as a parameter:
curl -sgSL "https://api.openshift.io/api/users?filter[username]=<username>" | jq -r ".data[0].attributes.cluster"
Or
curl -sgSL "https://api.openshift.io/api/users?filter[email]=<email>" | jq -r ".data[0].attributes.cluster"
The result of the request will be the OpenShift Online cluster URL e.g. https://api.starter-us-east-2.openshift.com/
Once user login to the underlying cluster he will get the view access in the <username>-che namespace where all workspace related pods are created.
