I wish I had known this before I bought the camera. How can a manufacturer not support sharing device access? Time to switch brands and return this one.

Tp-link has already implemented features with less votes than this one... Let's have some hope.

Yet another frustrated user of Kasa and Tapo kit. 
the hardware is good, competitively priced, reliable. The software is better than many of the other brands. And yet. 
 

AND YET... this utterly basic and essential feature remains absent. 


My particular scenario: a holiday property shared between many families. I have installed Kasa KE100 TRVs, so that heating can be controlled in only some rooms in advance of arrival. 
 

But the only options are either to share my login with several other people, so they can control all the devices in my own home as well, or be wholly responsible for the heating, having to do the remote operations that others ask for. 
 

TP-Link: close but no cigar. For a massive company, this is such a basic and essential omission. Such a shame.

Would love to see feature to allow chosen devices to be shared to other TP-Link ID's. One possible use case is for families, where some devices could be shared while others are not... this could allow different family members in different homes/locations to collectively access certain "shared" devices, while keeping certain other devices un-shared. Example could be a vacation home/cabin, where members of multiple separate households may have a shared interest in monitoring/managing the vacation property. They could share devices from the vacation home without having to share their own devices in their personal homes, and without having to log in/out of the app with different accounts each time.

TP-Link, you are giving up market share to Wyse and others by not allowing device "sharing" between accounts.  It's been years, and it's not that difficult to set up a basic ACL structure. 

 

Please make this happen.  We very much like the ability for the Kasa outlets to monitor energy usage, but the lack of device sharing makes us want to switch everything over to Wyse (or Emporia who also has energy monitoring on their outlets).

Need this. Sharing the same account will not work. That will expose administrative features to the shared user.

 

Also if I want to visit a friend or family members house and use devices in their account, I have to logout and login repeatedly.

 

Leviton has this feature!

Sharing with other user also have full rights if main users allows So this feature is also necessary. Only limited use isn't always convenient to shared members. If one is absent than how can other member modify pan or settings?

Super important feature from a privacy and usability perspective.

I would like to share individual devices with others without giving them administrative control or access to critical devices. It's bad security protocol to give full access to other people
