1. A system for managing access to a plurality of vehicles where each vehicle of the plurality of vehicles includes a respective vehicle device, the system comprising:
at least one communication interface;
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory processor-readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one non-transitory processor-readable storage medium storing an access configuration which specifies at least one authorization policy, each authorization policy including:

a respective indication of at least one vehicle access requirement to perform each of the at least one vehicle operation permitted under the authorization policy;
wherein the at least one non-transitory processor-readable storage medium further stores processor-executable instructions which when executed by the at least one processor cause the system to:
send, by the at least one communication interface, the access configuration to be stored at a first vehicle device included in a first vehicle of the plurality of vehicles;
receive, by the at least one communication interface, a first status message from the first vehicle device, the first status message indicating an access configuration stored at the first vehicle device;
determine, by at least one processor, whether there is a mismatch between the access configuration indicated in the first status message and the access configuration stored at the at least one non-transitory processor-readable storage medium; and
if there is a mismatch between the access configuration indicated in the first status message and the access configuration stored at the at least one non-transitory processor-readable storage medium, send, by the at least one communication interface, the access configuration stored at the at least one non-transitory processor-readable storage medium, to be stored at the first vehicle device.
