Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: receiving, at an information handling device in operative communication with a central device during a predetermined time period, context data of a user of the information handling device; identifying, from the context data and utilizing a software management system, that a permission status of the user from the central device restricts access of the user to an application on the information handling device during the predetermined time period; and allowing, responsive to the central device adjusting the permission status of the user based upon the context data of the user, the user to access to the application. Other aspects are claimed and described.

Claims (32)

1 . A method, comprising:

receiving, at an information handling device in operative communication with a central device during a predetermined time period, context data of a user of the information handling device;

identifying, from the context data and utilizing a software management system, that a permission status of the user from the central device restricts access of the user to an application on the information handling device during the predetermined time period; and

allowing, responsive to the central device adjusting the permission status of the user based upon the context data of the user, the user to access to the application.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the context data comprises receiving data from a secondary application associated with the user.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the receiving data from a secondary application comprises receiving data from a scheduling application.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the receiving data from a secondary application comprises receiving data from an Internet browser.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the context data comprises receiving data identifying a task of the user during the predetermined time period.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the receiving the context data comprises receiving data identifying a task of other users utilizing other information handling device in operative communication with the central device during the predetermined time period.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the allowing is responsive to the central device identifying the task of the other user is similar to the task of the other users during the predetermined time period.

8 . The method of claim 1 , comprising removing, responsive to the central device adjusting the permission status of the user based upon additional context data of the user, the allowed access to the application.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the allowing is responsive to receiving input by a user of the central device at the central device authorizing the allowing.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the central device comprises a device corresponding to an instructor and wherein the user comprises a student.

11 . An information handling device, the information handling device comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the information handling device to:

receive, at the information handling device in operative communication with a central device during a predetermined time period, context data of a user of the information handling device;

identify, from the context data and utilizing a software management system, that a permission status of the user from the central device restricts access of the user to an application on the information handling device during the predetermined time period; and

allow, responsive to the central device adjusting the permission status of the user based upon the context data of the user, the user to access to the application.

12 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the receiving the context data comprises receiving data from a secondary application associated with the user.

13 . The information handling device of claim 12 , wherein the receiving data from a secondary application comprises receiving data from a scheduling application.

14 . The information handling device of claim 12 , wherein the receiving data from a secondary application comprises receiving data from an Internet browser.

15 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the receiving the context data comprises receiving data identifying a task of the user during the predetermined time period.

16 . The information handling device of claim 15 , wherein the receiving the context data comprises receiving data identifying a task of other users utilizing other information handling device in operative communication with the central device during the predetermined time period.

17 . The information handling device of claim 16 , wherein the allowing is responsive to the central device identifying the task of the other user is similar to the task of the other users during the predetermined time period.

18 . The information handling device of claim 11 , comprising removing, responsive to the central device adjusting the permission status of the user based upon additional context data of the user, the allowed access to the application.

19 . The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the allowing is responsive to receiving input by a user of the central device at the central device authorizing the allowing.

20 . A product, the product comprising:

a computer-readable storage device that stores executable code that, when executed by the processor, causes the product to:

receive, at an information handling device in operative communication with a central device during a predetermined time period, context data of a user of the information handling device;

identify, from the context data and utilizing a software management system, that a permission status of the user from the central device restricts access of the user to an application on the information handling device during the predetermined time period; and

allow, responsive to the central device adjusting the permission status of the user based upon the context data of the user, the user to access to the application.
