1. A vehicle system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memory storing instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, configure the vehicle system to:
store first data indicating that a first speaker and a first display are associated with a first zone identifier of a vehicle;
store second data indicating that a second speaker and a second display are associated with a second zone identifier of the vehicle;
store third data indicating that the first zone identifier is associated with a first permission;
store fourth data indicating that the second zone identifier is associated with a second permission different from the first permission;
cause a first output of audio content by the first speaker;
cause the first display to output a first graphical user interface that, based at least in part on the first permission, identifies the audio content and includes a first control component associated with controlling the first output via the first display;
cause a second output of the audio content by the second speaker; and
cause the second display to output a second graphical user interface that, based at least in part on the second permission, identifies the audio content and excludes a second control component associated with controlling the second output via the second display;
cause, based at least in part on user input associated with the first zone identifier, a change to the second permission such that the second permission enables controlling the second output; and
cause, based at least in part on the change, a first presentation via the second speaker or the second display of an indication that controlling the second output is permitted and a second presentation of the second control component via the second display, the first presentation being different from the second presentation.
