Managing permissions for computing devices in computer networks

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory to store data;
• a processing device coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
• receive a registration message from a network device, wherein the registration request indicates that a first computing device has connected to the computing devices;
• determine a category for the first computing device based on the registration message;
• determine a set of rules for the computing device based on the category;
• and
• transmit the set of rules to the network device, wherein:
• the set of rules indicates permissions for the first computing device;
• the first computing device is one of a set of computing devices that are connected to the network device;
• the first network is one of a set of networks of the networking device;
• each network of the set of networks is initially isolated from other networks of the set of networks when the network is created;
• and
• each network of the set of networks comprises a respective computing device of the set of computing devices.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

• receive a registration message from a network device, wherein the registration request indicates that a first computing device has connected to the computing devices;
• determine a category for the first computing device based on the registration message;
• determine a set of rules for the computing device based on the category;
• and
• transmit the set of rules to the network device, wherein:
• the set of rules indicates permissions for the first computing device;
• the first computing device is one of a set of computing devices that are connected to the network device;
• the first network is one of a set of networks of the networking device;
• each network of the set of networks is initially isolated from other networks of the set of networks when the network is created;
• and
• each network of the set of networks comprises a respective computing device of the set of computing devices.
