More Information
Summary:Embodiments of the present invention provide method, system and computer program product for user profile and usage pattern based user ID prediction. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a user can request a user ID to access a portion of a computing system. One or more characteristics of the user, such as a role or location can be determined and correlated to one or more different additional user ID options. In this regard, the additional user ID options can be a suggested alternative user ID for use by the user commensurate with the role or location of the user, or with past patterns of other users considered similar to the user based upon the characteristics of the user. In this way, the predictive nature of the foregoing methodology can assist the user in requesting a most appropriate user ID based upon the characteristics of the user and also in requesting a user ID which may be required in the future by the user based upon predictive patterns of system usage of other like users so as to save time and improve work efficiency.
