Abstract

A method may include receiving, from a first party, restrictions associated with each of a number of applications stored on a mobile device and storing the restrictions, wherein the restrictions include time based restrictions and/or use based restrictions. The method also includes receiving, from a user of the mobile device, a request for access to a first application and providing access to the first application in response to the request. The method further includes receiving, from the user, a second request for performing a first action by the first application and determining whether first action is permitted based on the stored restrictions.
