We have a code, see below, that constructs the URL below:
http://www.MySite.com/sub1/sub2/?pyActivity=WorkManager.ShowPortal&UserIdentifier=MyEmail@MyCompany.com
How can I prevent the user/hacker from modifying the [&UserIdentifier=MyEmail@MyCompany.com] as this the variable that drives the user interface?

If its going to end up on the client side, there really isn't much that can be done to deter tampering. You'd be better off looking at creating solid validation on the server-side.

I tried URL re-writing and it did not work either. I am looking to do it in ASP.NET. I will post the code when completed.
