Device access control system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a secondary processing subsystem;
• and
• a secondary memory subsystem that is coupled to the secondary processing subsystem and that includes instructions that, when executed by the secondary processing subsystem, cause the secondary processing subsystem to provide a device access control manager engine that is configured to:
• identify at least one first application that is configured to be provided by a central processing subsystem that is included in a first computing system with the IHS, and at least one second application that is configured to be provided by a second computing system that is coupled to the first computing system via a network;
• configure a device access controller subsystem in the first computing system to provide the central processing subsystem access to a first subset of a plurality of first devices in the first computing system in order to allow the central processing subsystem to provide the at least one first application;
• configure the device access controller subsystem to provide the second computing system access via the device access control manager subsystem to a second subset of the plurality of first devices;
• and
• transmit second application control communications received from the second computing system to the second subset of the plurality of first devices via the device access controller subsystem in order to allow the second computing device to provide the at least one second application using the second subset of the plurality of first devices via the device access controller subsystem.

A method for providing device access control, comprising:

• identifying, by a device access control manager subsystem, at least one first application that is configured to be provided by a central processing subsystem that is included in a first computing system with the device access control manager subsystem, and at least one second application that is configured to be provided by a second computing system that is coupled to the first computing system via a network;
• configuring, by the device access control manager subsystem, a device access controller subsystem in the first computing system to provide the central processing subsystem access to a first subset of a plurality of first devices in the first computing system in order to allow the central processing subsystem to provide the at least one first application;
• configuring, by the device access control manager subsystem, the device access controller subsystem to provide the second computing system access via the device access control manager subsystem to a second subset of the plurality of first devices;
• and
• transmitting, by the device access control manager subsystem, second application control communications received from the second computing system to the second subset of the plurality of first devices via the device access controller subsystem in order to allow the second computing device to provide the at least one second application using the second subset of the plurality of first devices via the device access controller subsystem.
