Is there any way to put a password on your sonos system?

My situation in this case is that we are using Sonos on our company, we have 7 Sonos PLAY:1 systems running on each department/floor, but every employee is able to switch the songs.
I would like to see this easy utility implemented shortly.

I love Sonos, and we all do.. It's a great system and it works great.
But to implement this easy authentication utility must not be difficult.

I now put Sonos 1, 3, 5 and connect in most of our house but since most friends know we have sonos, they constantly change music. People are requesting an option to protect their sonos since more than 3 years. Will you finally do something or will you just watch people leaving Sonos for something that has access control? This should have been on your priority list since a long time
same here

Granted this would be a great feature but are you really going to punish sonos for something that you can easily control? If i had friends that were doing that to me i would tell them to stop changing channels or i will lock them out of my network. With no access they have no control, it really is that simple. If they want to go find an empty network jack then i would tell them if they continue they will no longer be allowed over. If you have friends that will not respect your wishes then they really are not friends.
when i have friends over they usually get my password i guess that's kind of normal, right? but that means they should be able to use my network but not my sonos. however when they are physically present they can get access to sonos which doesnt make much sense to me. a simple password would help

i could also picture my kids playing around with my sonos. and i guess i can't prohibit them to acces the network at home

Hello, There isn't a way to set a password or limit accessibility of the Sonos system. If someone has an iOS or Android device and is able to connect to your main network and gone through the setup process with the Sonos application they will have access to the system.
That's a HUGE downside and doesn't make any sense: friends and kids have access to your network and if they find a Sonos device they could get access to this. This is really bad! Why not beeing able to set a password, maybe a general, maybe one for each Sonos item. And if you don't like that idea then just don't set a password.

why cant you? you pay for the network not the kids. I just love the entitlement children feel nowadays and the parents that accommodate it.

I can segregate my network easily enough with multiple VLANs and separate access points. My issue is I'd like to be able to lock the SONOS configuration equipment-wise so significant other or kids can't rename things, drop devices, etc.. It isn't malicious but my significant other gets frustrated and starts doing things she doesn't understand. So, I spend time each week fixing the configuration. I also like the idea of controlling multiple homes from one controller without having to rejoin each time. Thank you

For some reason, Sonos does not seem to think this is important. I sure do.

I have just experienced a scenario mentioned above when during a party one of my kids' boyfriends decided to screw around with my Sonos system via the iOS app. He got the network access code from her, then had free reign over the music during the party. Red faces all around as my boss and senior management were in attendance, with music stopping, jumping from track to track without me being able to understand why. In the end I turned it off and resorted to playing CDs through my PC and into an external amp. It is astonishing that there is no option to password protect the system. This is something you must address immediately, or I for one will be selling my 4 Sonos pieces of kit. Ridiculous.

Hi Anthony, how bad it may sounds, but I love your situation. Love it in the way I hope SONOS is finally doing something about it! It ridiculous that this small feature with such a hugh effects is not yet been implemented..
