Systems and methods for managing access-control settings

A system for managing access-control settings, the system comprising:

• a display module programmed to display, via a graphical user interface, a representation of an online resource by:
• identifying usage information that indicates how frequently a user accesses the online resource;
• using the usage information to select an initial size of the representation of the online resource;
• and
• displaying the representation of the online resource such that the initial size of the representation of the online resource corresponds to how frequently the user accesses the online resource, wherein the representation of the online resource comprises an icon;
• an input module programmed to receive input that resizes, along a y-axis, the representation of the online resource from the initial size to a new size, wherein the y-axis represents a usage limit of the online resource during a time period represented by an x-axis;
• a detection module programmed to detect the new size of the representation of the online resource;
• a modification module programmed to modify an initial access-control setting to establish an updated access-control setting that corresponds to the new size of the representation of the online resource;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the display module, the input module, the detection module, and the modification module,
• wherein:
• the input module is programmed to receive input that resizes the representation of the online resource from the initial size to the new size by receiving input that reduces a height of the representation of the online resource;
• the modification module is programmed to modify the access-control setting to establish the updated access-control setting by reducing access to the online resource when receiving the input that reduces the height of the representation of the online resource;
• and
• the modification module reducing the access to the online resource comprises reducing a frequency with which the user is allowed to access the online resource.

A non-transitory computer-readable-storage medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• display, via a graphical user interface, a representation of an online resource by:
• identifying usage information that indicates how frequently a user accesses the online resource;
• using the usage information to select an initial size of the representation of the online resource;
• and
• displaying the representation of the online resource such that the initial size of the representation of the online resource corresponds to how frequently the user accesses the online resource, wherein the representation of the online resource comprises an icon;
• receive input that resizes, along a y-axis, the representation of the online resource from the initial size to a new size, wherein the y-axis represents a usage limit for the online resource during a time period represented by an x-axis;
• detect the new size of the representation of the online resource;
• and
• modify an access-control setting to establish an updated access-control setting that corresponds to the new size of the representation of the online resource,
• wherein:
• receive the input that resizes the representation of the online resource from the initial size to the new size comprises receive input that reduces a height of the representation of the online resource;
• modify the access-control setting to establish the updated access-control setting comprises reduce access to the online resource when receiving the input that reduces the height of the representation of the online resource;
• and
• reduce the access to the online resource comprises reduce a frequency with which the user is allowed to access the online resource.
