1. A method for layered user identifier (user ID) mapping virtualization, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by one or more processors at a network attached storage (NAS) server, a connection request;

    determining, by one or more processors at a NAS server, if the connection request is for a new user, and if so, creating a filesystem user ID and an internal user ID for the new user;

    mapping, by one or more processors at a NAS server kernel, external user ID and filesystem user ID to the internal user ID;

    verifying, by one or more processors at a NAS server kernel, user ID on subsequent logins with an external database;

    remapping, by one or more processors at a NAS server kernel, the filesystem user ID and the internal user ID for the changed user account; and

    transmitting, by one or more processors at a NAS server to one or more processors on one or more NAS server kernel repositories, the updated mapping for the user.
