WiZ offers three different user roles, each coming with different access rights.

Owner

The owner role is the highest level in WiZ, and the role you will get by default in any home that you create. In a nutshell, owners can do everything:

  • add and remove devices, accessories, rooms and groups
  • control lights from the local network, and from anywhere in the world via the Cloud
  • create scenes, schedules, rhythms...
  • add, edit or delete other users
  • create your own custom colors and whites
  • create your own quick actions
  • set up integrations

You can have as many owners in a home as you want, and all will share those access rights

User

The user role shares most of its limited permissions with the Guest role, with one important exception: Users are allowed to control the lights from anywhere in the world, through the Cloud.

This role is essentially limited to controlling the devices, without the ability to edit settings.

  • control lights from the local network, and from anywhere in the world via the Cloud
  • create your own custom colors and whites
  • create your own quick actions
  • use existing scenes

Guest

The Guest role is the most restrictive of the three. Guests can only control the lights when connected to the home Wi-Fi (local network). They cannot interact with the lights if their phone is not connected to the network. This can be the best choice for a kid, for example, or for a temporary guest.

  • control lights from the local network only
  • create your own custom colors and whites
  • create your own quick actions
  • use existing scenes

Note: both User and Guest roles can be configured to offer access for a limited time only (for example only a month). This can be configured either by editing the invitation after it is created, or by editing the details of the home member after the invitation has been accepted. By default, invitations do not enforce any time limit after they have been accepted
