Control access to your household
Your login and household membership control access to household records. Roles and bill visibility also determine what another person in the same household can see or change.
Household access
Inviting someone grants access to the household under their assigned role. Owners and co-owners see all bills. Members and viewers may be limited to Shared only; a viewer cannot make financial changes.
Review a member’s access
- Open Household and check each member’s role.
- If you are the owner or an authorized co-owner, inspect Bills they can see on the member’s edit form.
- For Shared only access, check the Split & files tab on the bills you intend to share. Visibility-only sharing need not assign a payment share.
Personal choices and shared settings
Some preferences, such as your theme and notification read state, belong to your login. Household choices, including the home currency and timezone, are shared. Check the setting’s purpose before changing it for other people.
Administrative and system access
HomeWeal uses access checks to separate households and restrict member views. Authorized administrative or system operations may access data for supported service purposes. This guide does not promise that all access is impossible or that an internal query guard is a complete security guarantee.
