Abstract
Granular access control over data is provided. The access control can be on an individual entity, a group of entities or other data characterizations. Further, the control is not limited to data in folders, but can include contacts from a contact list, calendar entries, incoming calls, applications that can be accessed by the electronic device, etc. A new attribute is associated with a data characterization, designated an access level. Another attribute is associated with profiles stored on the electronic device, designated as a guard level. When a request for access to data is received, the electronic device allows access to the data if the value of the guard level associated with the active profile satisfies a predetermined access requirement relative to the value of the access level associated with the requested data.
