Most parental controls apps don't do this, a potential problem if you get distracted, leave the dashboard open, and your child passes by and can access and tweak their own protection levels. There's a neat plus in a dashboard timeout, where your session automatically closes if you're inactive for too long.

The typical Android parental control setup might tell you it needs to set a location permission, then display the relevant Android setting, then move to Accessibility, then display that setting - you must follow the preset order, and you've no idea what's coming next or how many steps are left. This helps setup feel more organized, too. Many parental control apps jump into the setup process without properly explaining what they're doing, so it's good to see Norton lay everything out on a single page, with a brief explanation of why each permission is necessary. The app then explained it needed several permissions to take proper control of the device: device admin, app usage, location, display over other apps, accessibility and phone.
