Abstract: To perform a restricted action, such as access a restricted content item, a subordinate user account can transmit a permission request to an authorizing user account. The permission request can request authorization from the authorizing user account to perform the restricted action. The permission request can be transmitted to one or more client devices of the authorizing user account, and enable to the authorizing user account to remotely select to approve or deny the permission request, thereby either granting or denying the subordinate user account from performing the restricted action. In addition to approving or denying a permission request, an authorizing user account can also be enabled to ignore a permission request, thereby allowing the authorizing user account to respond to the permission request at a later time. Further, in some embodiments, an authorizing user account can select to deny all further permission requests to perform the restricted action.

Abstract translation: 要执行受限制的操作，例如访问受限内容项，下级用户帐户可以向授权用户帐户发送许可请求。 许可请求可以请求授权用户帐户的授权来执行受限制的操作。 许可请求可以被发送到授权用户帐户的一个或多个客户端设备，并且允许授权用户帐户远程选择批准或拒绝许可请求，从而授予或拒绝下级用户帐户执行受限制的动作 。 除了批准或拒绝许可请求之外，还可以启用授权用户帐户以忽略权限请求，从而允许授权用户帐户在稍后的时间响应许可请求。 此外，在一些实施例中，授权用户帐户可以选择拒绝所有进一步的权限请求来执行受限制的动作。

Abstract: One or more user accounts can be linked together to form a group of linked user accounts. A shared calendar can be assigned to a group of linked user accounts. A shared calendar can be a unique calendar assigned to the group of linked user accounts that can be accessed by each member of the group of linked user accounts to schedule appointments, reminders, etc. A shared task list can be assigned to a group of linked user accounts and accessed by each member of the group of linked user accounts. Members of the group of linked user accounts can add tasks to the shared task list that can then be viewed by the other members of the group of linked user accounts. This can allow a family to add tasks to the shared task list that can then be completed by other members of the family.

Abstract: The described embodiments include an electronic device that performs configuration operations. During operation, an administrative electronic device receives an indication that an electronic device that is presently checked out to a user is to be checked in. The administrative electronic device then requests a backup file with information from the electronic device, wherein the information comprises information about one or more changes made to the electronic device since the electronic device was checked out. Next, the administrative electronic device receives the backup file from the electronic device. The administrative electronic device then restores the electronic device to an initial state, wherein, in the initial state, changes made to the electronic device since the electronic device was checked out are reversed to return the electronic device to the initial state.

Abstract: One or more user accounts can be linked together to form a group of linked user accounts. A designated primary user account in the group of linked user accounts can be enabled to modify control settings for the subordinate user accounts in the group of linked user account. The control settings can dictate restrictions on the subordinate user accounts. For example, the control settings can define restrictions on the type of content that can be accessed, purchases that can be made, storage space allocated to the subordinate user account, etc. In some embodiments, the primary user account can be enabled to establish a set of control settings for a client device associated with the group of linked user accounts. The set of control settings can dictate restriction on content accessed by the client device and usage of the client device such as restrictions on phone calls, messages, data usage, etc.

Abstract: A computing device provides methods and workflow for setting up a shared family account on a content storage system, including the creation of accounts for child family members. A computing device supports the creation of a family account using an account on the content storage system associated with an adult family member acting as a family organizer. The family organizer can designate a specific account as a purchase account for allowing other family member to purchase content from content servers associated with the content storage system. The family organizer can invite other adult family members to join the shared family account. The family organizer can create new accounts on the content storage system for child family members, and can designate access and purchase restrictions for such child family members. Family members have access to shared storage content, as well as services such as family calendar, group messaging, and device location.
