Abstract
Mechanisms are provided to allow devices to support multiple modes, such as work, personal, and family modes. Conventional mobile solutions provide only for mode distinctions at the application level, e.g. one work application may prevent access to certain data, but a different application may want to allow access to that same data. Existing computer system solutions rely on multiple operating system instances or multiple virtual machines. Framework level modes are provided that do not require different, mutually exclusive, or possibly conflicting applications or platforms. A device and associated applications may have access to different data and capabilities based on a current mode.
