grant/deny permissions for a shared device
Hello everyone,
Latest app allows the Live View, Talk, Voice Call, Pan& Tilt, and Playback&Memory features enabled for shared accounts. As most of these function was not enabled in previous app versions, I know users that are annoyed by this change without any notification. In some cases the administrators don't absolutely want allow the shared accounts to pan/tilt the camera. This is a major issue for tlt/pan cameras already mounted that should stay in a fixed position for security/privacy reasons. For this reason I suggest additional settings in app that allows to select what function is granted/denied to shared accounts.
Thanks

I do agree you should be able to set permissions for shared devices.
Also I think the limit of max 5 accounts you can share with is very limiting.
We have a Tapo camera at the entrance of our building and we want to share this with other residents.
This means we can only share with full permissions to everyone (definetely a big no-no) and we can share with up to 5 people...

I absolutely agree with you. I am already facing issue with sharing the camera because the shared account can change camera position and that is a security concern. Important footage will be missed is a shared account holder deliberately change the camera direction to hide some incident from camera. I need to give access to camera in our apartment to all residents, but with current permission that will be big NO. Anyone can change camera direction. Cannot trust all the residents. Its going to be a security issue.
I am requesting the developer to modify the TAPO app to provide more granular control camera functions to a shared camera user. This is highly important.

This is definitely a must-have.
Trying to set up any kind of automation involving shared cameras is impossible. I just want to be able to use camera-triggers in automation for my partner. Why can't it notify two people when there is an intruder for example? Only one person having automation capability is extremely dumb from a user experience perspective.
