In that case I'm thinking this way:

As a developer I can request that my app gets blocked in the app file
descriptor. This guarantees that common user don't have to pass through
configuration.
But, for 'power users' we provide a section in the configuration app to
play with this, and even we can offer behavior based in the hour and/or the
day of the week or even my gps location.

For example, I want that my tablet request keyring for Google+ in the
office hours/days/location, but in home I want it to be able to access
without keyring.

Following this guidelines I should be able to create profiles, like a 'work
profile' and 'home profile', and even, if If you let me dream about it, I
should be able to change the profile from notification bar, for that cases
when in home time I'm out, for example with friends drinking at a bar I can
change my setting quickly.

Cheers,
