Hello, Im trying to create a dashboard for each people of my house and give at each one the ability to turn on just a few light without being able to go to settings or doing other stuff. It is possible? I create a test account but he can see everything and do some stuff
Yes it is!
Within home assistant goto settings > people and create the extra logins for people as needed.
Make them admin.
Once you have created their accounts goto settings > dashboard > create new dashboard
Name each dashboard as per user (for simplicity)
From there you (as admin) can see all dashboards and create the cards as needed for each user.
You will need to log into each account you created to assign the default dashboard for that account, once assigned you can go back to your main admin account and edit the subaccounts to remove their admin permissions.
On the dashboard hide the sidebar for each user
Ok, and how do I hide the sidebar? I used kiosk but it will work only from browser
If I go to the dashboard there is remove from the sidebar but there isnāt hide the sidebar
While logged in as a sub account, click on the sidebar, scroll down to the user account name, tap on that, there you can define user colours and other settings, toggle the āalways hide sidebarā option.
Not sure if it works in kiosk but thereās a topic here in the community called āhide sidebarā or similar, just search for that and read there for a kiosk solution
Ok I check the always hide the sidebar but nothing changed 
Hi Nicolo, you can also achieve this by using š¹ Browser_mod - turn your browser into a controllable device, and a media_player
Im from android app, does it work anyway?
Yes, I use this with the android companion app
I tried it but, after enabling it for a test user I cant remove it anymoreā¦ From the main account there isnāt the user I inserted in the list, If I log in from mobile or web, the sidebar doesnāt appear and I cant do nothing elseā¦ Jeez
It did appears after a refresh Now it works
Iām missing something but I donāt know what.
I want to create a Guest account with access to a single dashboard providing control over the radiator in the guest room.
I create the account, make it admin, log in, edit the profile, āPick a default dashboard for this deviceā, deal with all the wobbly sidebar entries, then search in vain for a āsaveā, ādoneā or āupdateā button, canāt find one so hit āLog Outā.
When I log back in, on the same device, itās reverted to the default.
Reloading Yaml on the developer tab doesnāt make any odds, nor does updating Guest on the People page, nor whether or not Iāve removed admin rights.
So Iām a bit stuck.
Did you refresh your browser/clear the cache?
Did you have a look at browser_mod, this can be controlled with a lot of other useful things for your use-case.
Iāve cleared site setting on that browser, tried a different browser on the same device; and a browser on a different device. In each case I get the default view.
So far as I can see browser_mod requires browser registration. I want anyone using the room to be able to load a simple panel to turn their heat up & down without doing any configuration. Iām thinking a QR code may make that very simple.
A dashboard is not linked to a user but a device/browser session, not to a user.
You could auto-register new browsers in browser_mod and from there assign a dashboard to a user.
I get that the dashboard exists independently of any user, but surely each admin user can assign their own preferred view, as explained by tvns in the second post on this thread?
Else what is the point of the various settings in the profile, if they donāt persist and have to be re-enabled for a new session?
Iām rather daunted by browser_mod but Iāll load it and see what happens.
Thanks.
Itās just the way HA works (for now) and I doubt that you can get a refund for itā¦
Yeah. This install will take a while, Iām working my way down the list of necessary conditions for installing HACSā¦
You donāt need HACS for it and if itās just for browser_mod, I would install just manually.
Thatās good because HACS fails with āadd-on not foundā.
However, before a manual install I need the File Editor add-on (brand new HAOS yesterday to get round all the problems I had with upgrading the previous one) and before that I need to update the supervisor and thatās failing with an error message thatās too small to read and vanishes almost immediately, but seems to indicate an āimage not foundā server error.
I still donāt get why browser_mod is necessary. Surely every user wants a simple way to tailor their log-in view? This thread made it sound simple.
