GodOfCheese Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Many of my family members have smartphones. Is there any way for me to give them different usernames and passwords, or at least to create a user who does not have admin privileges on the ISY and have them share it?
stusviews Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 None in revision 4+. I don't know if revision 5 (Alpha only) does or will support multiple users with different privileges. BTW, others have asked for the same feature.
Teken Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 If this is important to you - may I humbly suggest you lend your voice under the *Feature Request* forum. This feature has been requested for years and perhaps 5.XX may finally offer it. Ideally there should be multi login capability but having the ability to assign user rights & privileges is paramount. I envision the following in no specific order: Read Only: Can only view specific tabs the admin assigns. User: They can activate all Insteon devices but has no write privileges admin assigns. Admin: Full user rights to perform all actions in the console. Some have suggested a *Super Admin / Backup Admin* account for fail over in case of lock out etc. Regardless of the multi login and user rights I would like to see a separate log tracking access, logout, and areas of read / write. Any write changes need to be appended to a locked file which is password protected.
G W Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 There are multiple ISY users on this forum. However I do understand that you are asking for multiple user accounts on the ISY. That is coming but we don't yet know to what extent. I apologize for this not being a 1000 word rant but I have a wife. Best regards, Gary Funk
larryllix Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 The Admin Console has always been intended as a maintenance port and not really for various users to operate devices from. Multiple levels of access would make more sense from the mobile apps available, and/or rest interface.

This is almost necessary if using anonymous tablets in a room. I apologize for this not being a 1000 word rant but I have a wife. Best regards, Gary Funk
