Hello - A bit of an existential question, in a way: I’m wondering whether I should create one or two accounts for myself. Options are:
one personal account (named Alex) with admin right
two separate accounts: one called Admin with full access, one called Alex with restricted privileges
Best practice would dictate using two accounts: my personal account for every day use (switching lights, playing music…) and one admin account for when I need to make configuration changes. But I wonder if in practice I wouldn’t need to switch between them all the time.
How have you set up yours? And would you mind to share your experience? Pros and cons? Thanks.
I do have 2 separate accounts on mine. I dont want everything accessible at all times. I perform maintenance and updates from a desktop over remote connection, so my mobile app uses a non-privileged account to only use the existing homeassistant dashboards. However, I do not name my admin accounts admin.
Create a dashboard for that device, give only “olders” user_access to this dashboard , no tab_actions on any “sensor-cards” , no side menu, if camera iis enough in Card_View, put it as a background_image in a suitable card(with i.e card_mod), etc. etc.
Yes, and if it’s a “Browser-View” in random OS, on that device, you can even have an auto-login-user after device-boot, and a open-url-hallway-dashboard>browser>fullscreen-script on login
interesting. the quandary now is adding a new user. i though have that it would be under configuration and security. let me guess it’s a yaml file some where?
EDIT: there is a “People” in settings, i can addd …admins? i’ll poke at this some more, looks like what i need.
