What The H?

I want to have my home assistant being used by all people living in the home. Having only an admin and a user is somewhat misleading…

I am the admin, my children and wife the users…

But then, WTH!? I don’t want to give my children acces to my bedroom tab!?

I would expect proper Role Based Access Control.

See below, more reason to prioritise this? :slight_smile:

:warning: No Longer an Active Project

I have come to the difficult decision to stop work on Custom Header and have archived the project. Please, see the farewell post for more info.

WTH can't I restrict access to users (i.e. not give logbook, access map, history etc.)
WTH User groups and group rights
WTH is "The users group still a work in progress"

Remember HA is still in beta. You can always install a plugin that lets you do that with HACS.

You could use Custom header to restrict views per user.

You can create new lovelace dashboards and use them for RBAC. When creating a new dashboard you can mark it as Admin only.

For me I create a dashboard for users and then in a separate dashboard I have all my admin stuff

But what about the menu items?

Completely agree that we need more Roles and maybe roles for views. Because as you are saying users is a bit generic.

You can set up a user to have their default dashboard something else but they can always select any dashboard that is available to users

Please note, in that post I’m not requesting access control, but merely the ability to show/hide (which is not the same).

Let’s keep custom things out of this and focus on the core :tada:

You could use Custom header to restrict views per user.

But setting this up for multiple dashboards with multiple views is not an easy task…

But that’s “custom”, and indeed a lot of “hassle”. Would like to see it “supported” in homeassistant
