Limit user permissions

[BravoSix]

Am I correct in understanding that we STILL cannot limit specific user permissions in Google Home?

How is that possible?  It's a simple functionality that should have always existed.  The ability for the owner to establish permissions for additional users is such a basic concept that it's insane that Google doesn't think it necessary.  Sure, I'd love to give everyone in my home unfettered access to every device.  What could possibly go wrong with teenagers, guests, etc. having complete 100% control?!

Does anyone at Google actually use these products?  Don't they have UX people?  Is everyone there just glaringly incompetent?

Hello BravoSix,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community. I’d be happy to help you with your questions.

Although there's no direct method to restrict device access to specific household members, it's advisable to organize your devices into separate home structures. By doing so, you can invite only the intended members to access those devices, granting them the necessary permissions. This approach provides a more controlled and tailored experience for each user within your smart home.

Our dedicated team is committed to providing our users with an exceptional experience. Your input is invaluable to us, so we kindly request that you share your feedback about Google Nest with us. Additionally, we encourage you to stay connected with the Google Nest Community page for updates.
