Ideas and Discussion: What Features Do You Want in openHAB 5.0?

Improving the UI page builder in a way that makes it easier to work with dozens or even hundreds of devices, in a way that we can quickly duplicate one item (without codding) and quickly change the respective item

Could you elaborate on this?

@pedrolima

Possibility to add different users and set custom permissions to certain pages and even certain options (like this, we could set a user that would have access only to a specific page, let’s say, Guest Room, where that room would have a tablet with only things for that room and bathroom, no access to anything else, this could also apply to hotels)

Some people are currently working on this. Add Role Based Access Control [RBAC] · Issue #3305 · openhab/openhab-core · GitHub

@pedrolima

Having a user management page where admin could see common things about those users like last login, last item used, we could even keep a log of what each user did (perfect to debug eventual “user problems”)

This is probably currently outside the scope of the above, but perhaps once that’s in, this can be added - depending on the architecture of the above.
