Abstract
Communication network application activity monitoring and control apparatus, methods, and data structures are disclosed. A communication network user that initiates access to an application provided in a communication network is identified. Records are dynamically created and maintained to reflect accesses by the user to the application and other applications that are provided in the communication network. The records track application activity by the user. Policies may be established and enforced to control application activity that the user may conduct in the communication network. Conformance with application access restrictions and regulations may be verified or demonstrated by reporting the records, and ensured through policy enforcement.
