Methods and arrangements for selectively maintaining parental access consent in a network environment

A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, comprising:

• associating a first entity with a second entity in a first device;
• causing the first device to determine whether to provide information about the association of the first and second entities to a second device as directed by the first entity;
• in response to the determining, causing the first device to provide the information to the second device without the second entity being logged in to either the first or second device and also causing the first device to provide the second device with a validation code that identifies the first entity and the second entity, when the first entity is operatively associated with the second device, wherein the validation code identifies modifications to a consent parameter associated with the second entity;
• and
• facilitating access of the second entity to the second device based on the information.

An apparatus comprising:

• memory having information associating a first user of the apparatus with a second user of the apparatus;
• and
• logic operatively coupled to the memory and configured to respond to inputs from the first user by determining whether to output information about the association of the first and second users to a second device as directed by the first user;
• outputting the information to the second device without the second user being logged into the apparatus;
• and
• facilitating access of the second user to the second device based on the information;
• wherein the logic is configurable to be operatively connected to at least one external device and is further configured to selectively output the information within a validation code that identifies the first user and the second user, when the first user signs-in to the external device;
• and
• the validation code facilitates the first user to review the information, wherein the validation code identifies modifications to a consent parameter associated with the second user.

An apparatus comprising:

• memory;
• and
• logic operatively coupled to the memory and configured to allow a first entity to be operatively associated with the apparatus, determine whether to provide information about the association of the first entity and at least one other entity to a second device as directed by the first entity, and receive the information without the at least one other entity being logged in to the apparatus, wherein:
• the first entity includes a first user, the at least one other entity includes a second user,
• without requiring the at least one other entity to be operatively associated with the apparatus includes without requiring the second user to be logged in to the apparatus,
• the validation code identifies modifications to a consent parameter associated with the at least one other entity.
