More Information
Summary:Methods network nodes and user equipment nodes are disclosed that control the operation of applications on user equipment nodes. A method includes receiving user information that identifies a user of the user equipment node (120) and application information that identifies an application that the user has selected for installation on the user equipment node. A user profile is retrieved from a user profile repository (106) using the user information and an application profile is retrieved from an application profile repository (104) using the application information. Settings configuration information is generated responsive to the user profile and the application profile and indicates what permissions are to be granted to the application while operating on the user equipment node. The application and the settings configuration information is communicated to the user equipment node (120) for installation of the application and configuration of the permissions that are to be granted to the application during operation.
