Your partner, a flatmate, the grandparents who visit every Sunday: each of them can get their own GlassHome login. None of them needs a Home Assistant account.

Pick Local account. They get an invite link and choose their own password.

A dialog titled What can they do, with the options Everything, Chosen rooms and Look, don't touch; Chosen rooms is highlighted
You

Pick a starting point

Everything, Chosen rooms or Look, don’t touch. It only fills in the next screen, so pick the closest and fine-tune there.

You

Type their name

Type the name they will see on their screen. Below it, choose which dashboards they see, and whether they can edit them.

A dialog titled Invite Maya with a QR code, the invite link in a field, and a Copy button highlighted
You

Share the link

Tap Copy and send them the link, or let them scan the QR code. The link uses your dashboard’s own address, works once and runs out after 7 days, so treat it like a house key.

A phone showing You're invited to Maple House, with Your name and Password fields and a Join button
Them

They open it and join

They open the link, check their name, pick a password and tap Join. That’s their only chore.

You are done when

They land on the dashboards you gave them, and their row shows up in People & Devices. From then on they sign in with Name and password on the welcome screen. Want to change what they can reach? Choose what someone controls. Invites, resends and forgotten passwords are covered in People & access.
