How other platforms handle this
You choose who to share your Ring account with, and have control over which devices they can access. You can remove any shared user at any time.
One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well, that's fine, but it can only be used for running a machine).
You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.
