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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
