  • Patent number: 11947638
    Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically determining and enforcing user permissions for applications and application features. In some embodiments, a system includes a server and a user device. The server may determine a user of the user device based on receiving login credential data. The server may further obtain user attributes for the user including, in some examples, a location of the user. The server may further obtain an attribute-based control policy that identifies relationships between a plurality of possible user attributes. For example, the control policy may identify attribute requirements that must be met for enablement of a particular application feature. Additionally, the server may determine user permissions for the user based on the control policy and the user attributes. The server may transmit the user permissions to the user device, and the user device configures the corresponding application according to the user permissions.
