    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can be configured for users (e.g., user devices) that are detected nearby the computing device. For example, the computing device may be a communal device configured for a single user but generally used by multiple users. The communal device can discover when a known (e.g., authorized, trusted, etc.) user device is near the communal device and obtain personalization data from the nearby user device. The communal device can configure the communal device based on the personalization data to personalize an activity hosted by the communal device for the user of the nearby user device. To protect the user's personalization data, the communal device can delete the user's personalization data when the activity hosted by the communal device is terminated.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can restrict the use of another computing device in certain contexts. For example, a parent may wish to use the parent's computing device to restrict her children's use of the children's computing devices while the children are in school while the children should be participating in some other activity. For example, the parent's controller device may be enabled to remotely configure and control the usage of the satellite device(s) without needing to physically access the satellite device. The parent may implement limitations, permissions, or different policies that may govern, for example, the ability of the satellite device to communicate with other devices, execute various application functionalities, run any particular software, and manage its own settings.
