  • Device management system
    Patent number: 11575711
    Abstract: A system manages usage of a network-enabled user device. A policy storage is separately located relative to the user device and stores usage policy sets. Each policy set comprises policies defining usage permissions/restrictions applicable to the user device. The system associates a first user with a first time period and a second user with a second time period, each time period exclusive of other time periods. The first user selects/modifies a first policy set for applying during the first time period, and the second user selects/modifies a second policy set for applying during the second time period. The first user cannot select/modify any policy set applicable during the second time period, and the second user cannot select/modify any policy set applicable during the first time period.
