Privacy issue with car location shared on VRM

Node-RED

Hello,

I added my EV using the Virtual EV node in the latest Venus OS beta and shared my VRM dashboard with a few friends.

Could you consider hiding the vehicle’s location for users with viewer-only access? There is no need for other viewers to see where my car is located.

Thanks!

edit: also, now I think about it, make an option to hide the advanced tab maybe?
edit2: I see now almost everything is visible for a read only user now. Can’t you just make a profile for basic viewer and show only the dashboard?

You can disable the GPS Data Sharing with all users in the ev integration menu:
(It would also be possible to disable GPS Data recording at all)

But not in the Virtual EV node? Off course I can provide fake data to the node when I am not at home, but I would like to see the same options as the EV integration settings.

Furthermore, I would really like a basic user profile, so my friends can see the dash and nothing more, no advanced tab, no ev location, nothing, only the basic dash, something like that.

At the moment, VRM does not seem to actually use the virtual EV data for anything yet, right?

If that is the case, I am going to populate it with some realistic dummy data for now, just to see how Venus OS and VRM handle and display it. Once the virtual EV data is actually used for something meaningful, I can replace the dummy values with the real data from the car.
