Multiple users?

I am pretty sure the systems could be WiFi or SonosNet. The Sonos systems maintain their separate identities - the LAN just provides a means to move the data around.

This is a bit of a diversion from the original question though.

It is shame that you don’t work for Sonos but you do put bad note on it with your replays. 
 

So you didn’t understand what is benefit of multiple users but still pushing your own view so I decide to explain to you  

it is not only services and that people will have more order when favorites will be there own but also to be able to dedicate different devices to different users so I don’t wake up 3am because my son by mistake turn full volume up in my bedroom. Didn’t happen because he is still 2 years old and not drinking but could easily happen.

So there is pretty much good reasons for multiple users on one system.

If you don’t agree goodbye and good luck.

@Ajakasa .  Thank you for your hilariously condescending lecture.  I am aware of all the arguments you put forward, which is why I commented that I understood why some users would want separate accounts.  I am not arguing against it, simply pointing out that some separation is already possible.

If you wish to dedicate different speakers to different users, you can already do that… by setting up separate systems.  This was already covered in the post from @controlav .

@John B happy we understand each others. ;)

I know that setting up different system is possible but still will be nice to have some administrative functions like adding different options to different users so I can control all and other people in my house only what I want them to control. Maybe sound hush but it is just to make sure that I can sleep while my guests having party with Sonos and not switching my bedroom by mistake. Don’t get me wrong I’am huge fan of Sonos and I have it for 10 years now and I will continue to use it but just that little think will obviously make many people more satisfied. 

If your guests are not logged in to your Sonos account they cannot make important changes.

I don’t know what is important to you but for me is very important to stop them from playing music in the middle of the night in my bedroom or my toddler room just because of mistake. I don’t understand why you guys are so fantastic in protection of Sonos system but you should read my post with understanding before replying. 

I was only reacting to the first part of your post. I’m not sure the second part would be a serious problem for me. Guests are on my guest wifi and have no control over my music. My kids have control, either with the Sonos app, Airplay, or Spotify. Nothing vary bad has happened since and I like using the Sonos system (via Google Assistant) as an intercom, zo need it to be on the same network.

Would other connected speakers not suffer form the same (as you may find) problem? You can also Airplay to all listed speakers on the same network.

@106rallye I am big fan of Sonos for more than 10 years and didn’t think about this in beginning. But than I install 20 move and 25 ports on SuperYacht and very often have problem witch I explained before. Also at home now I have multiple units and I am always scare that family in visit don’t do something during the night. I don’t have nothing agains Sonos and you are right Airplay is same thing, completely nonsense that you gain access to AV system just by using home wifi. I know I can setup multiple wlans but I like to keep it simple at home and that little feature will make many people happy. 

Reading your post, I do think your use case is a bit specific. Not only in the environment where you use your Sonos devices, but also in the number of speakers. I'd make different wifi zones or use non-connected devices where silence really matters (and maybe use a Port to connect with the Sonos environment).

On board I did manage to have all more or less fine. It is huge Cisco infrastructure so it is easy to play with different vlans and wlans and restrictions between but it takes time. 

In my house on the other hand is exactly what other users are complaining. We all would like that apps can have different users so you can save favorites to your user and that owner can dedicate some different speakers to different users. 
If Sonos would do something like that it will be definitely the best system around for home users and you and people who like how is now will have exactly the same user experience like it is now. So I think is win win situation.
