    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.

        - type: conditional
      conditions:
        - condition: user
          users:
            - 9ecc550a1dc14e0a98071750a1673abc
      card:
        type: entities
        entities:
          - entity: switch.pc_admin_controls
            toggle: true
    - type: conditional
      conditions:
        - entity: switch.pc_admin_controls
          state_not: "off"
      card:
        type: grid
        columns: 4


    (Ignore that I haven’t fixed the yellow warning entities yet lol)

      That’s a good solution. What is your PC controls yaml if it isn’t too private?

        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 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
