Automatic clustering of users for enabling viral adoption of applications hosted by multi-tenant systems

A computer-implemented method for mitigating forked tenant user groups while enabling user-initiated creation of tenants in a multi-tenant service, the computer-implemented method configured for execution on a computing device comprising:

• receiving a first request from a first user associated with a first client computing device causing a generation of a first tenant, the first request including a first entity name or a first domain name;
• receiving a second request from a second user associated with a second client computing device, the second request indicating an intent to generate a second tenant, the second request including a second entity name or a second domain name;
• in response to receiving the first request including the first entity name or the first domain name and the second request including the second entity name or the second domain name, analyzing the first entity name and the second entity name to determine that the first entity name and the second entity name have a threshold level of equivalency and analyzing the first domain name and the second domain name to determine that the first domain name and the second domain name meet the threshold level condition of equivalency;
• in response to determining that the first entity name and the second entity name or the first domain name and the second domain name meet the threshold level condition of equivalency, causing a display of an invitation at the second client computing device notifying the second user of the first tenant and a prompt to the second user to provide a confirmation input to join the first tenant;
• and
• in response to receiving the confirmation input from the second client computing device associated with the second user, granting permissions to an identifier of the second user for accessing the first tenant and cancelling the second request to generate the second tenant.

A computer-implemented method for mitigating forked tenant user groups while enabling user-initiated configuration of a multi-tenant service, the computer-implemented method configured for execution on a computing device comprising:

• receiving a plurality of requests to configure a plurality of tenants;
• in response to determining that an identifier of an individual user is included in at least one request initiated by another individual user,
• causing a display of an invitation at the client computing device of the individual user prompts the second user to provide a confirmation input to join a tenant managed by with the another individual user, and
• in response to receiving the confirmation input from the second client computing device, granting permissions to the identifier of the individual user for allowing access to the first tenant;
• or
• in response to determining that the identifier of the individual user is not included in the at least one request initiated by another individual user,
• analyze the plurality of requests to determine if a subset of the plurality of requests have request characteristics that meet one or more criteria,
• send invitations to a select group of members associated with the subset of the plurality of requests, the invitations prompting the set of users to respond with one or more confirmation requests, and
• configuring a single tenant granting access to the select group of members in response to receiving one or more confirmation requests from the select group of members.
