Claim:
1. A method, in a data processing system having a processor implemented in hardware, for recertification of a user access entitlement, comprising; collecting, from a system resource of the data processing system, access information representative of accesses of the system resource by a user access entitlement of a specific user; determining, by the processor, that recertification of the user access entitlement, with regard to the system resource, is to be performed; determining, by the processor, a pattern of access based on the access information for the user access entitlement; and outputting, by the processor, a recertification request graphical user interface to a user based on the pattern of access, wherein the graphical user interface comprises a representation of the pattern of access and one or more graphical user interface elements for receiving a user input specifying acceptance or denial of the recertification of the user access entitlement, wherein the representation of the pattern of access comprises a comparison of a first access metric associated with the user access entitlement of the specific user to a second access metric associated with one or more other user access entitlements of one or more other specific users, and wherein the first access metric and the second access metric are statistical values indicative of previous access operations by corresponding user access entitlements.
