Abstract
Systems and methods for delegating an asset are described herein. An asset management user interface is provided to an asset owner. The asset management user interface can include visual representations of one or more assets registered as owned by the asset owner. The asset owner can then select an asset to delegate with one or more usage rights. The usage rights can restrict some asset functions and allow a delegate to use other asset function, as defined by the usage rights. A delegation token can be created based on the usage rights and the delegate. The delegation token is then transferred to a device associated with the asset or the delegate, enabling the asset to be used, but that use limited according to the usage rights.
