When you add a person to the home, their access levels can be set based on the permissions you want to give them.

• For trusted partners or people who co-manage the home with you, give Admin access.
• If you want someone to have limited permission to control devices, change settings, or check activity data (such as camera history), add them as a Member. You can turn on or off their access to Settings or Activity.
