only thing in the next version is being able to make all the built in dashboards admin-only.

274

This is very bad news. If the security is at the dashboard level, a teen or a malicious tenant can simply whip up a Dev Console and hack around HA doing whatever they want typing the appropriate JavaScript on the console.

And that is just the more obvious way in which dangerous entities could be used by people who shouldn’t.

Unless I completely misunderstood, then I think i would call this fake security. Thumbs down.

275

Yes. You completely misunderstand and are making assumptions.

276

I truly hope I am misunderstanding. We’ll see. Have a nice day!

277

@petro what does “next version” mean? 2026.4?

278

2026.3 has the admin only options for the built in dashboards.

279

Sounds like a step in the right direction. Excited to be able to test it out when I have time to do my backups and the upgrade. I can’t find any mention of this in the release notes though.
I searched the page and found plenty of people talking about energy dashboard, but not anything else. What did they call it?

280

I think what’s happening here is that people new to Home Assistant see that you can have multiple users and automatically assume that it means you can have, or should be able to have, the system allow them to have control of certain aspects of the home. It was never designed to do that. Rather, those accounts are intended for presence detection so that the underlying automation engine can do things based on who is home or where they are.

281

Mine too :smile:

282

2026.3 has the admin only options for the built in dashboards.

Am I blind, or is it not mentioned in the Release Notes?

283

If it was listed, it would be listed under the frontend changes in all changes section. It’s not really noteworthy (for the noteworthy section) but it definitely exists as I’m using it.

284

I was looking for it as well, but didn’t find it in the release notes. I did find that it’s available, but you have to go through the Edit option from the triple-dot menu.

285

Yes, that’s where it’s always existed for user created dashboards. It was added to the built in ones.

286

Would be nice if there was also a toggle (admin only) for the following:

  • Activity
  • History
  • Media
287

Those need to exist as configurable dashboards first, right now they are tied to the integration existing in configuration.yaml.

288

It’s insane. I can do 99% now for guest account to restrict dashboards but

  • search
  • media
  • history
  • activity
    can’t be set only for admin use.
    Which means 99% of the progress is wasted because you can access any device by going for instance to history…

Shameless plug, but I created a HACS integration that allows to restrict dashboards on a user level: DashBouncer

290

With the recent news that roadmap is now public, any chance to see RBAC integrated to it?

It still impossible to give access to HA to family members...

Simple reminder that there is this cool integration that HA Dev could use as a source of inspiration :slightly_smiling_face: : Role Based Access Control (RBAC)

There is also a thread on reddit for this.

291

Its not possible currently to add them with the access restrictions you want, and im sure that the developers are well aware or the fact that there are o e or more third party integrations that are attempting to add this feature.

292

Very much worth mentioning your addition.
Precisely what I was looking for.
Recently downloaded and easily configured it, and it works like a charm.
