1. A method implemented using a system including a first external system, a second external system, and a neurostimulator programmed with at least one stimulation program, each of the at least one program having one or more stimulation parameter sets, each of the one or more stimulation parameter sets including parameter values for more than one neurostimulation parameter, the method comprising using the first external system to:
program the second external system with a parameter set status for each of the one or more parameter sets, the parameter set status determining whether the second external system has access to modify corresponding ones of the one or more parameter sets;
display the one or more stimulation parameter sets for a corresponding stimulation program;
display one or more indicators corresponding to the one or more stimulation parameter sets, each of the one or more indicators indicating the parameter set status for a corresponding one of the displayed parameter sets for the corresponding stimulation program; and
receive input from a user and, in response to the input from the user, selectively turn the indicator on or off for the corresponding one of the displayed parameter sets and program the second external system with the parameter set status for the corresponding one of the parameter sets according to whether the indicator is on or off.
