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

hi, i have an even mpre disturbing permission problem. My family weekend home is equipped with Tapo motion detection and alarm sound device.( hub). The alarm is activated if motion sensor detects movement (set in smart/automation). I shared the sensor and hub with family members, but they can not switch automation off due to sharing permision. We still consider Tapo a very comprehensive security system, but the above hinders real introduction.

@tapotiger Greetings from November, 2025!
My C660 camera setup was delivered 11/25, I've been setting it up on my phone and now shared it to my wife with her own account.
While she CAN Pan/Tilt/Zoom with her shared account, and delete notifications, she's blocked from simple operations such as turning the light on and off.
Ideally, I don't need something granular, she should have the same permissions I do. "Invite as Admin" would solve my problem.
