Users & Roles
Smart Panel includes a built-in user management system with role-based access control. You can add family members, housemates, or other users and control what they can do.
Roles
There are three roles, each with different levels of access:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full system access. Can manage all users, devices, settings, and plugins. There is exactly one owner account, created during onboarding. |
| Admin | Can manage users, devices, dashboards, and system configuration. Cannot change the owner account. |
| User | Regular access. Can view devices and dashboards, trigger scenes, and interact with the panel display. Cannot manage system settings or other users. |
The owner account is created during the initial onboarding process. You cannot create a second owner or change the owner role.
