Does anyone know how to share access to your Google Cameras (Doorbell, Indoor Cameras, Outdoor Cameras) through the Google Home app with any other lesser access than "Full Control of Devices and Services"? I have been a long-time customer (Dropcam> NEST > Google) and could provide reduced camera rights in the NEST App before migrating to Google Home.
I do not want to allow the person to change passwords and other higher-level functions that FULL access provides.

Unfortunately, all members of a Google Nest "household" have full access:
"Only invite people you trust to become home members. When someone becomes a member of a home, the following info and settings are shared with them:
Full access and control of devices and services..."

It's more than a year later and while they announced the implementation of two different levels of access (Member /Admin) I still don't have it. What's worse, it's still an all or nothing implementation. Even as a member, you can still access all cameras whereas in the Nest app, it was possible to share access to a single camera.
It is such a classic Google move to replace an app with another app that has fewer features.

Google Nest has apparently added limited "member" access in the beta "Public Preview" version of the Google Home app. See @David_K 's reply on this thread:

I can't speak to it because we're not on the "Public Preview" version.
