Nope,there is no such option, but i found solution.
When you are creating HA user, create it in apriopriate site., then you have access only to desired location

Then something is amiss since it has branching points depending on if you have one or more sites https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/a59460a23336627d0bc12b1eefffdaa516e55e87/homeassistant/components/unifi/config_flow.py#L182

Anyone know what to do if you change your unifi controller ip after the integration has already been installed? I moved my unifi controller to a cloud host so I need to update the ip. I tried to update it in the config but the error logs still show it looking for the local address.

Yes. How do we do this?

Why is it the Addon in general (with a few exceptions) does not allow you to alter basic config settings like IP address and password?.

The values are stored in the file config/.storage/core.config_entries

But I actually raised this issue a while ago and it was fixed but poorly documented.

There is a generic UI component missing in Core HA for configuration of Addons in general. Most implement nothing. You can either hack JSON files or remove the Addon and re -add it and clean up the mess it causes.

Unifi integration configuration does not allow any way to change IP address or password

integration: unifi

### The problem The Unifi integration - after it was moved from YAML to UI ba…sed (which is good) lost the ability for the user to change essential basic settings like IP address (if I decide to replan the IP range) or password. After having seen some recent ransomware attacks on various 3rd party boxes I have been changing passwords on several units that are integrated with Home Assistant and I have been a bit shocked to find out that the only way you can change the password in the HA config for Unifi is to delete the entire integration and start all over again. And then you can start cleaning up the mess. We need to be able to alter the IP address or domain name, and passwords. As a minimum passwords. Changing passwords periodically is part of good safety practice and should not been treated as an exception. I chose to hack the core.config_entries and then restart Home Assistant. That works just fine. But risky. Users should never have to hack .storage files. The UI should give the same config settings. For this interation the settings the UI miss are - Host (IP) - Port - Username - Password And the existing password should not be displayed. You should just be able to replace it with a new password. This is a generic issue with many integrations and I will raise reports on all of them ### What is version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? 2021.5.5 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? never ### What type of installation are you running? Home Assistant OS ### Integration causing the issue Unifi ### Link to integration documentation on our website https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/unifi/ ### Example YAML snippet ```yaml N/A ``` ### Anything in the logs that might be useful for us? ```txt N/A ``` ### Additional information MQTT Integration has implemented the reconfiguration very nicely. It allows changing all the original config settings.

You need to restart Home Assistant for the new config to be loaded. Did you do that?

I ended up removing and re-adding the integration.

is there a way to filter what gets picked up by the integration? i have about 100 devices on my network and this ends up creating about 400 entities.

Hi,
Can someone point me in the right direction to setup logging. Logging from the Log Tab with the integration does not report all stuff thats going no between controller and devices.
I need to get debug logging and would normally be available in “server.log”. However, I can’t find such a file.
I did add following to the configuration.yaml (for as far as aI can see, without any effect)

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    aiounifi: debug
    homeassistant.components.unifi: debug
