To perform this task, the consent management system maintains consent information which describes a plurality of use conditions associated with the features of the application functionality. In one case, the consent information has a hierarchical data structure that identifies a hierarchy of application features. In operation, the consent management system accesses the content information whenever an entity seeks to access a particular application feature; it grants or denies access to the feature based on the consent information. The consent management system also includes a consent maintenance module that allows an administrator (or other entity) to cancel or modify any use condition in the consent information."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Progressive consent","description":"A consent management system is described which manages an entity's consent to consume application functionality on a per-feature level of granularity.
