Providing on-demand access to a restricted resource of a user device

Abstract:

Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing on-demand access to a restricted resource of a user device. An example method can include generating a profile that specifies a restricted resource and one or more conditions for that resource to be de-restricted. The profile can be sent to, and utilized by, an agent application executing on the user device. The agent application can determine that a user is requesting de-restriction of a resource and determine whether all applicable conditions are met. If the conditions are met, the agent application can de-restrict the resource. After the resource is used, the agent application can report details of the use to an administrator or management server.
