    Abstract: A portal application can receive a listing of available applications in response to a request sent to a management server. The listing can include a plurality of attributes for each available application, such as the requirements for using the features of each application or a dependency upon another application. Based on the plurality of attributes received, the portal application can determine that a first application requires installation of a second application in order for the first application to provide additional functionality. The portal application can display icons corresponding to the available applications and display one or more UI elements, indicating that the first application requires installation of the second application. The portal application can also push the second application to the device and assist in installing and initializing the second application on the device.

    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing privacy information to a user of a user device. An example method can include detecting, at a management server, access of the private data by an entity other than the user, such as an administrator who is authorized to access the management server. The method further includes generating an event reflecting the access of the private data. The generated event can be stored as part of an event log in a database. The method further includes providing the event to the user device for display to the user. The event displayed on the user device can include information such as an identity of the accessing entity, a description of the private data that was accessed, and when the access occurred. The user can select a displayed event at the user device and request further information on the event from an administrator.
