A proper permissions system for entities has long been one of my most desired features for Home Assistant. It should be possible to set visibility and control for each entity and user.
Trying to do control access via dashboards as always seems the wrong way around to me.
For me I’ve experimented with restricted cards. For example, I have essentially a collapsed menu of controls for my PC, accessible only when a switch is toggled on, and the card with the switch is only visible to me.
I made it a while ago. I believe it could also be made in helpers UI now, in Settings > Devices and Services > Helpers > Create Helper > Toggle, and setting a name and icon, and saving. It’ll be input_boolean.switch_name and is functionally the same, as my conditional cards do the actions
I used to use Has Agent, now I have LNXlink, which had quick buttons for lock, log out, ctrl-F4 and alt-F4, and power controls. I also have media player functions for watching stuff and controlling from the couch. I tried to share yaml but I think it bypassed a comment limit

That’s a good solution. What is your PC controls yaml if it isn’t too private?
But sorry, did you mean the whole controls/sensors section?
Sorry, that would help wouldn’t it aha
In templatesensors.yaml:
- switch: unique_id: pc_admin_controls name: Admin Controls icon: mdi:shield-crown-outline turn_on: [] turn_off: []I made it a while ago.

I was just curious what functions you were running on the PC that you wanted to control via HA.
Code here :)
Thx!
