Abstract
A system and method for assigning security credentials to particular components within a mobile device, and for ensuring that only configuration messages having sufficient access privilege to those components are allowed access, based on the security credentials. The security credentials or 'roles' describe which settings a particular configuration message has authority to modify or query. Access is disallowed to settings for which a message does not have adequate security credentials.
