I just upgraded to Homey v2.0 and I saw that the Family controls are very minimal. I would like to be able to set for each user permissions. For example I want my girlfriend to be able to control devices, start flows and create new flows but not to be able to adjust already working flows or change the settings (which she now as a user already can’t do). But for example my kids should only be able to control devices and start flows they should not be able to create or adjust flows.

With a proper (webpage based) Homey dashboad it wouldn’t even be necessary to add my kids as a Homey user because they could do everything with the dashboard

Per user authorization and permissions was one of two things I’m chronically miss in Homey. Second is full config backup and recovery.

Backup is announced after V2.0 (I think even V2.1), permissions per user are not jet on the radar.

> Homey feature management by my current impression is totally funny. I would say that as a device it can do really a lot. Quite potent and powerful device. On the other hand, simplest of the task it fails. smiley A well, possibly they will integrate it some time soon. Thnx for clarifying this to me.

I miss the permissions per user also.

For now a read-only user would be already nice…

How to officially send a request? I never did it, same as reporting an issue over support@athom or is there something else?

Finding out how to submit a support ticket can be a bit difficult to find but this should help if you still need it.

This post is related to this one:

> Hi There, An option that could be useful would be to be able to give access to the Homey on certain time of the day and certain day to different users. An example: I would like my cleaning lady to be able to open my house front door only on the day she is cleaning my home. I would be able to decide on which day and timeframe she can use the app to open my house light the rooms, etc.
