Abstract
Described technologies enhance cybersecurity and facilitate computing system account usage by configuring a primary account and a supplementary account together in a security configuration lifecycle. The primary account user may be a parent or other adult, while the supplementary account user may be a child or other person with less capacity than the primary user. Over time, the accounts may transition together through security configurations to give more capabilities to the supplementary user, e.g., login separate from the primary user, and to reduce the control of the primary user over the supplementary account. Security configuration lifecycle stages are implemented, e.g., using capability-security pair data structures and account security configuration code. Despite the security configuration linkage of the accounts, each account may have its own personalized content and its own recommendation history. Lifecycle position identification supports automatic reasoning to select an age-appropriate consent obtention procedure, and facilitates documentary media timeline creation.
