What Is a User Id?

Unix-like operating systems identify a user by a value called a user identifier, often abbreviated to user ID or UID. The UID, along with the group identifier and other access control criteria, is used to determine which system resources a user can access. The password file maps textual user names to UIDs.

What is an example of a user ID?

Since the userid identifies you to the computer, it is natural for it to be used to identify you to other computer systems. For example: The person Joe B. User could have this userid, "jbu3470". The userid is made up of the person's initials and the digits of some personal identification number.

How do I find my user ID?

To retrieve your User ID and Password, you can use the `Forgot Password` feature, follow these steps:
  1. Go to the website and click on Login.
  2. On the login pop-up click on the `Forgot Password` link.
  3. Enter your registered Email ID.
  4. You will receive list of all User IDs linked with the Email ID.
