Multiple accounts/users on one inventory?

Hi! This question feels a bit awkward to ask, because I feel like I misunderstood something fundamental about the project, but:

Are inventories locked to accounts?

I wanted to categorize my home which I share with my partner. So when I created an account for them, I was a bit surprised that all the stuff I already created didn't show up on their dashboard... Because apparently, they had their own inventory.

So, is there some option to share the inventory? If not: Is this feature planned? Or should we just share an account to manage the same items? I couldn't find any

I really don't want to seem entitled. I know how much work these projects take up and was so happy when I found out that the archived version was forked and is actively being developed. :)

Peace!

  • Hi,

    to my understanding, registering a new user will create a separate inventory.

    If you want someone to share an inventory with you, you will need to invite them to yours. You can create an invite from your profile, there's a button right next to "Change Password".

    Note: I'm new to Homebox as well, so take my assumptions with a grain of salt. Especially, I'm not sure how this will behave if someone tries to register a user from an invite with a mail address that's already being used by some other user/inventory. Would be cool if you could let me know if you happen to hit that case!
