Dashboard only, for specific users?
Dashboard only, for specific users?
I would like to provide family members with one specific dashboard only. They don’t need to see settings, dev tools etc.
How do I accomplish this?
You're viewing a single thread.
Make them non-admins and make the "difficult dashboard" admin-only. At least that is my way of doing it.
Thanks for your answer. Is there any way to hide the logbook, energy, etc. or only share the specific dashboard?
There isn’t really a good way to do this in Home Assistant as far as I know.
If you go into each user’s user settings page, there is an option for “Change the order and hide items from the sidebar”, which allows sidebar entries to be hidden. However, any sidebar customisations are reset if the user logs out and in again.
There was also some HACS integrations that provided more sidebar options, but one is now abandoned and the other is unstable.
I think items can be disabled globally from the sidebar, but that also removes them from admin users as well.
Per user permission management is something Home Assistant really needs to improve.
That was my concern. I think I will give it a try with the hidden items per user login.
But what I was wondering: how do folks show stuff on their framed e-ink displays as shown here?
you can also set visibility on each tabs of a dashboard to select the user that have access to it
