Rich enhanced user level access a few releases ago with very little fanfare. If you didn't read the release notes, you probably weren't aware of this. Here's a quick little video showing up some of these cool new tweaks:

Thanks for posting this Mark. Will z-tool+ be updated at some point to work with local logins enabled? I would like to enable this in the near future as my boys' computer knowledge will likely exceed mine in the near future, but don't want to lose the z-tool functionality. [emoji3]
Thanks

How to Set Up User-Level Access in HomeSeer
Hi Mark, I don't want them using ztool +, I want to use it, but my understanding is that it doesn't work if local logins is enabled. I want to give my boys access to certain devices in HS and restrict access to others so want to enable local logins.
Thanks

Seems like that is defeating the purpose of z-tool. I'd have to use the web interface first so that I don't have to use the web interface for the zwave plugin [emoji1]. How about an option in z-tool that allows you to configure if you want it to prompt you for login credentials?
Cheers

PS I could argue that most people should be running with local logins enabled as security by obscurity is really not good enough these days... [emoji12]

User access not working in HS3Touch
Mark
I have edited many many devices to create a much smaller list of devices for my wife to access. When I log in as her from the Web UI, either locally or externally via my own domain the user access settings are honoured correctly.
When I log in using her account from HS3Touch externally using my own domain the user controls are ignored and she can still see all the devices that I removed access for. Haven't tried internally yet as not at home
Win 10 Pro
HS3 .206
HSTouch Server .75
Her account is of the type "Normal" with Event access but no access to Counters/Timers or Logs
I am probably missing something obvious
Cheers

If a thief is logging into your system locally, he's probably already in your house, in which case... you've got bigger problems than unauthorized HS access!
IMHO a strong security framework will be a must if HS wants to stay a leader in the HA space. To me this means that security must be able to be seamlessly applied without having to turn it off to allow some functionality to work. Hardware devices such as the z-net should be password protected, the web server should use a current version of SSL, etc, etc.

Originally posted by mwaite View PostI agree. The Z-tool should have the same configuration settings found in HSTouch client. Once credentials are entered, they can be remembered for seamless logon as required.

I think the real risk is that if someone launches z-tool and select add or delete, then someone else turns on a light switch, z-tool might pick it up to add or delete.HS4Pro on a Raspberry Pi4

Again though... what's the likelyhood that someone would go to all this trouble to mess up someone's network? What would be the end-game? You can't control any devices this way... you can't unlock a lock with Z-Tool+!

I recently installed a Hometroller Zee S2 in a 40 person ski house. I need backup admins and for training purposes I would like tech savvy people to have read-only access so they could view events and all settings without being able to change anything. Once they're familiar I can allow them full access. Is there a way to give read only access to the entire system?
