I want to share my account with my child but i don’t want him to be able to change my settings, erase events. Is it possible?

Welcome to the Forum, @boothmaryanne! 👋

If you’re talking about sharing your _account_ with another person, then you’d be giving that person access—including settings and events—to everything you can currently access and control. That person would be using the same login credentials, because that’s the _account_ you would both be accessing (and, likely, you’d have to approve this second login via one of the two-factor authentication (2FA) methods).

You can share _devices_ with another person—which is maybe what you want to do in this case—and that person has limited ability to control things but could view live video (if you have cameras), receive notifications (if you have those enabled, because a shared user can’t control those), turn lighting products on or off, etc.

Many users would like to see more granularity/control over what a device _owner_ can do or give permission for when sharing devices:

The problem we run into is that I want to give her full access to control settings also, but there is no permissions list for users who have access to the camera. Every time one person wants to change the settings, increase sensitivity, turn off notifications etc, you have to call/text the other person to change the settings. We use them for security and as a baby monitor so set…

I hope this helps!
