What Are the Differences Between Owner and User?

When we shared a Home with others, we are the owner and the invitees are the regular users of the devices under this Home.

What owner can do:

1. Access and control the devices and Scenes

2. Change the settings of the devices and Scenes

3. Add and remove the devices and Scenes

4. Invite new friends to join or remove a shared member

(The owner has the highest priority to this Home and all the action is the same as usual.)
