Simplifying home assistant for family and restricting access to certain views

[elchininet]

That’s right, I tried to clarify that in the third point in the Things that are out of the scope of Kiosk-mode section of the kiosk-mode entry.

@elchininet

It is not an RBAC solution. Kiosk-mode is a JavaScript plugin that is executed in the browser, which means that anybody with the minimum knowledge can deactivate it and bypass it. Do not take this plugin as a security measure because it is not and it will never be. If you want to make Home Assistant more secure, or seeing RBAC features implemented, you can vote for this feature.

@dannieboiz, the best that you can do with Home Assistant right now is, as @NathanCu mentioned, security by obscurity. To avoid certain users visiting other dashboards that are not intended for them, you can copy this logic to a custom JavaScript module that check the user and redirect them to a specific dashboard. This is also security by obscurity but very useful for family members, kids, spouse, etc (as long as they don’t have a minimum debugging and JavaScript coding skills ).
