There should be a way to restrict access to certain zones or allow control of certain zones from a specific controller. This is very important when you have children or have guests staying to stop inadvertent or deliberate changing of zone settings.

      this would be a great feature.
      I have a wall mounted iPad in the living room, and would like to restrict the Sonos app on this iPad to only be able to control the living room.

      Wow.. My overall feeling was that Sonos had stagnated in development just by the "quiet" surrounding them the last couple of years and lack of new features.

      Then I'm setting up my kids first phone and started looking into how I could limit his Sonos controller to just his room and is greeted by this.

      A 6 YEAR old suggestion without any implementation or serious respons at all.
      Wow, my feeling just got verified, Sonos is dead.. =7
      Sad.

        Glad to see others supporting the idea.

        It is very curious to me that such a large thread would not attract Sonos’ attention.

        Thank you ratty. These are great statistics. Other statistics I was able to find are 224 replies & 10244 views.
        If I do a search of "Feature Request", I find 27 pages. Unfortunately this thread does not show up in there. Is it because it is missing the "Feature Request" tag? Is it possible to add it now?

        Anyway, after going through all of them, it seems to be the 3rd thread with most views/replies after Google Assistant and Airplay 2, both of which have been implemented by now.
        I think if it could get the "Feature Request" tag, maybe it could catch Sonos' attention
