Sharing devices between multiple accounts

Hi,
Is it possible for multiple Kasa accounts to access the same device? My husband and I would both like access to the TP-Link smart plugs but they are already linked to his account and it doesn't appear that I can add them to mine without removing them from his.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

There are lots of instances when I really need this feature which is no my other devices. Cleaning lady, pool man, and sometimes I have long term guests at my house. I have to share my account with them that then allows them to control ALL my devices, which is much less secure than if I just shared the pool switch with the man and the house lights with the cleaning lady. And I have 2 devices at my office that I had to create a completely separate account for. So then I have to log in and out to control them.
I like the quality of your devices but I am beginning to replace them with other brands because of this issue. I was hoping you would up data this but it has been 2 years .

@Mr.Brightstar Which manufacture has per device access?
For the cleaning lady & pool use case I'd be tempted to tell them to use the switches manually and not give them access...
Long term guests are trickier - but you can change the password after they leave. Or create a separate account just for the switches they use, move them back after.
