  • There was a big scandal at secondary school when it was exposed that a group of school staff and teachers had been stealing school funds. They had some scheme going involving fake invoices for school supplies and building maintenance that never existed.

    Quite a few heads rolled for that, even the headmaster left soon after despite not being known to be involved.


  • It’s a feature that’s often been requested, but hasn’t appeared yet. The best option out of the box is creating non-Administrator users and then creating custom dashboards and panes per user with only the controls they need.

    But that doesn’t stop a user from poking around still, because they can still access all devices and entities through features like the Logbook - which is always accessible because sidebar items can’t be controller per user.

    There are some HACS bits that might be able to lock things down a bit further, like Kiosk and Guest modes.

    I’ve heard some people get round this by setting up inebriations with Apple/Google/Amazon ecosystem, only exposing the desired entities/devices, and then giving others access to those and keeping them out of Home Assistant altogether.

    It’s a feature set I wish they would add/expand, I’m sure anyone with a home office and mischievous children would agree.
