1. A method for managing access to applications on a user device, comprising:
receiving, at a management server from an agent executing on the user device, user credentials and an indication of whether the user credentials have been verified;
retrieving a user profile associated with the user credentials;
setting a server context ID for a user session; and
transmitting the user profile and the server context ID to the agent, wherein the agent:
checks out the device to the user by:
loading the user profile; and
setting an agent context ID to the value of the server context ID;
launches an application on the user device;
determines a status of a local context ID of the application; and
in an instance where the local context ID matches at least one of the agent context ID and server context ID, implements the application with user data specific to the user.
