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. A usage request from the user device is allowed/denied based on the policy set to be applied when the usage request is made.

Abstract: A system comprises a policy storage separately located relative to the user device, the policy database arranged to store information indicative of at least one usage policy set applicable to at least one respective user device. The system is arranged to store user device identification information for each user device associated with the system, the user device identification information being indicative of and unique to a user device associated with the system and being stored separately relative to the user device. The system is also arranged to associate a usage policy set with a user device using the device identification information unique to the user device. The system is also arranged to determine a usage request from a user device and to allow or deny the usage request based on the at least one usage policy set associated with the user device.
