Yes, it is baffling that this is not a feature yet
I dont understand why this is not already possible. How can it not be possible?
This is withholding me from buying a lab full (for students) of bambu printers. This can not be managed at all in this way. So sad. Come on Bambulab!
with the new printer that I’ve heard is to come out in a couple months, it makes total sense to allow the owner of a printer to allow authorized users. My wife wants to be able to print things on it herself and we’ve only had it for just a few days. I know she doesn’t want to have to ask me every single time she wants to be able to print something. This has got to be a possiblity

need to share my printer with colleagues
Has bambu ever changed anything per user demand? I can think of a hand full of change requests that clog up these forums. But they seem to fall on deaf ears.
While I am relatively new to Bambu Labs printer (June), talked the school’s innovation lab into getting one (they bought 3 X1Cs) and then had egg on my face when we all found out these can’t be used in an educational or lab environment with multiple students/users. From the multitude of requests and discussions around this on the Internet over the past two years, it’s obvious to me that Bambu Labs wants to make home 3D printers and has no desire to make products for commercial/educational/institutional use. A real shame, because they make good hardware, just extremely limited software.
I can get multiple accounts on my bambu x1 if all accounts uses the lan code
+1 for this feature, otherwise I have to kick my teenage son out of the house.
He log me out and log in, then I have to do it again to be able to print.
Nerves are on the edge, please be quick
Another consideration I would like, is to create a sort of hierarchy for printers, roles, and labs.
Here’s my set-up:
Lab 01: 3 Bambu Lab P1S Printers with 1 Director, 3 Lab Supervisors, and 15+ users
Lab 02: 10 Bambu Lab P1S Printers with 1 Director, 2 Faculty, and ~50 students that change yearly
Lab 03: 5 Bambu Lab P1S Printers with 1 Director, and 200+ users that can come and go (maybe a generic account is best for these users)
Roles:
Director: Can start, stop, and cancel prints from anyone. Can add and remove all account privilege’s and has complete control of the ecosystem (adding, removing, and transferring machines between labs)
Lab Supervisors / Faculty: Can start, stop and cancel prints from anyone. Can add and remove user accounts.
Users: Can start, stop, and cancel their own prints.

How the heck is this still not an option?
Just adquired a Bambulab A1, I can process on my head this is not an option, is extremely inconvenient and not family friendly at all.
@BambuLab We need this solved ASAP
+1 sharing the printer with my wife.
+2 …as my wife (as the second user) whole-heartedly agrees. It should be a network resource, not single user equipment.
Bambu Labs consistently produces incredible machines, yet this one issue prevents me from committing to a full suite of them.
I run a makerspace at a university, and like hundreds of others here, we require multiple accounts to access all the printers. When the X1 Enterprise launched, I believed this issue was finally being addressed and purchased one as a test case. Over a year later, we find ourselves in the same position.
I participated in a long-winded discussion on the Bambu Slicer GitHub (github/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/905), which, much like this one, felt unproductive. At least there, the developers occasionally responded. After a lengthy discussion where they claimed it was something they were working on, their most recent update redirected everyone to this platform, stating that it was actually outside their scope.
Feeling very deflated, I still think these machines are incredible. However, if using third-party devices is the only way to achieve this level of access, they aren’t suitable for enterprise use.

Months of the same request… Have you considered the possibility that the reason BL doesn’t open up their printers for classroom use is because stratasys has that covered thru patents and classroom use just happens to be a key market for their Makerbot printers? Doing so would open them up to more lawsuits. Just guessing here but it’s not uncommon for a company to not add a feature due to patents.
We have 3 X1C at work and I have another two A1 and A1 mini at home. I have to constantly login to the proper accounts in order to use them. It’s a pain.
I’d like to access them all using my personal account with the approval of my work account but not have my co-workers access my home printers.
+1 getting my p1s combo next week. Would like to share access to different accounts. Send like a highly requested feature. Not sure why it hasn’t happened yet.
Been following this topic almost since the start and today it hit me. I have seen mentions of multiple accounts per printer and i didn’t know where did i see it and then…
I think that was the plan since the start but what i think is that they can’t find a way to make it work or don’t have capable people of incorporating that into the current system. Or else why would they say that a single printer can have multiple accounts like it’s stated in the boosts section?
Multiple accounts could also introduce a big security risk.
