Patent ID: 8769071

Claim:
A method comprising: in response to a request to map a tenant user identifier (ID) pair comprising a tenant identifier (ID) and a tenant-specific user ID, creating, by a processing device, a mapping of the tenant user ID pair to a global user ID that is not yet used, the processing device being communicably coupled to servers in a networked system, and the tenant ID being associated with a tenant in the networked system; after creating the mapping of the tenant user ID pair to the global user ID, checking, by the processing device, whether one of the servers has mapped the tenant user ID pair to another global user ID different from the global user ID during creation of the mapping; and deleting, by the processing device, the mapping of the tenant user ID pair to the global user ID in response to determining that one of the servers has mapped the tenant user ID pair to another global user ID different from the global user ID.
