A computer-implemented technique is described herein for defining and applying constraints that regulate a supervisee's interaction with applications. In one implementation, the technique provides a user interface presentation to a supervisor that lists a set of applications that run on plural application execution platforms. The user interface presentation also allows the supervisor to set platform-agnostic constraint information for any identified application. The platform-agnostic constraint information, once set for an application, constrains interaction by a supervisee with all versions of that same application. That is, the constraint information is said to be agnostic with respect to platform in the sense that it applies to a variety of application execution platforms that run the application. In one example, the platform-agnostic constraint information specifies a permitted amount of an activity that the supervisee is permitted to perform across all versions of an application.
