1. A system comprising:
- A memory to store instructions and a relational database, where the relational database includes;
A table that provides a relationship between a logical grouping of remote devices and at least on activity of a plurality of logical activities that is permitted to be performed on the logical grouping of remote devices;
A table that defines a relationship between users and profiles;
A table that defines a relationship between the profiles and the plurality of logical activities; and
A table that defines a relationship between the plurality of logical activities and groups of physical commands that perform the logical activities; and
a processor to execute the instructions to;
Receive a request to perform one logical activity of the plurality of logical activities,Translate the one logical activity into one of the groups of physical commands using the relational database; and
Cause the one or more logical activity to be performed on one of the remote devices using the one of the groups of physical command.

Abstract
A system includes a relational database and processing logic. The relational database is configured to define a relationship between a group of logical activities and groups of physical commands that perform the logical activities. The processing logic is configured to receive a request to perform one logical activity of the group of logical activities, translate the one logical activity into one group of physical commands using the relational database, and cause the one logical activity to be performed on a remote device using the one group of physical commands.
