Abstract

Systems and methods for root-level application selective configuration for managing installation of applications in a file system include at least one computing device and an agent. The at least one computing device can receive selections from a user for a file and for actions desired to be executed on the file. Instead of requiring a particular privilege level for the user, the agent can be provided privileges based on a policy file associated with the selected file, thereby allowing the selectable actions to be executed via the agent. The agent can be executed by the at least one computing device and register with an OS during a boot sequence. The agent can receive a selection of a file and render a context menu based on metadata from an associated policy file. The context menu can include one or more badges providing an indication of executable actions for the selected file.
