1. A method comprising:
- rendering on a display of a wireless server, a graphical user interface to administer a mobile wireless device and to present a selectable desired mode of operation for the wireless device, the selectable desired mode of operation being presented as an abstract description of one or more administration parameters associated with the selectable desired mode of operation for configuring the mobile wireless device,receiving, via the graphical user interface, a selected desired mode of operation for the mobile wireless device, the selected desired mode of operation correlated to one or more policies to control flow of information with respect to the mobile wireless device;
using the selected desired mode of operation to determine, without human intervention, one or more administration parameters to configure the mobile wireless device to implement a policy at the mobile wireless device; and
transmitting the one or more administration parameters from the wireless server to the mobile wireless device to implement the policy at the mobile wireless device based on the one or more administration parameters.
