Google Home Introduces Admin and Member Access Levels for Improved Security and Control

The Google Home app is now offering two access levels - Admin and Member. Admin is for trusted partners or people who co-manage the home with you. The new Member access allows Basic device controls (like live view of cameras) and Personal settings (Assistant, personal presence, and linked media services). Giving a Member Settings access lets them have full device control and device settings, manage home-wide settings (household automations, home address, Nest Wifi device network and features, Nest Aware and Nest Renew features), while Activity access allows checking device and home-wide history. This feature is rolling out now to those enrolled in the Google Home Public Preview program.
