I love Home assistant, but there's one major thing IMO that's missing and prevents me from really using it: user accounts. You can make accounts but they're mostly pointless as they all have access to everything and you can't restrict things.
I mostly use user accounts on locked devices that can only show the HA app with views specifically designed as such, which in turn limits the devices/entities viable to them.
Do you use Android devices? If so, what app do you use to lock the device to only HA?
It native in android, see this article.
