What visitor can and cannot do while visiting a house?

I've never been to anyone's house and no one have ever been to any of mine. So, my question is what a visitor can do there. Can they open/close books/doors? Turn on/off the lights? If there is a setting to prohibit this, then what about crafting stations? I do not mind people reading books/crafting something, but I would like to keep the lights on and doors/books closed/open if I choose to do so. Also, what about bankers/chests? Can visitors interact with those?
Edit: I'm asking here since we are getting house tours now, and I'm not sure if they are adding any new settings for the persmissions.

seecodenotgames✭✭✭✭✭Basically visitors can interact with anything that has an interact status: lights, doors, fountains, statues, books etc.
Limited visitors cannot change these, but I believe they can see read books (one ones that popup as lore book, but not the ones that open and close). They can also use crafting stations, bankers and merchants.
No one except the house owner can interact with the storage chests as these are private to the owners items.
For this reason I have gone through all my houses that have doors and forced them to be always open and changed them to limited visitor ahead of the new house tours. If players who use EHT or PTF sometimes turn all my lights off for no reason, then I don't trust random players who are not in the housing community to do the same.
As much as it annoys me to have always open doors, I would rather that than let more people turn all my light off again (and yes this happens fairly regularly).Houses on PC EU (newest first)68. Aldmeri Mansion (Seabloom Villa) - The luxury home as an Altmer family

SpiritKitten✭✭✭✭✭And because the interactive objects are not interactive on limited visitor like the gong, frog caller, etc...I am way less enthused about the upcoming housing tour. What's the point of collecting and displaying all these cool toys if we have to have them non-interactable just so people won't turn our lights off? Seems like the devs have a habit of giving us things that seem cool at first until you realize the update is actually not what you wanted after all.3 -

✭✭The setting is under F5 (housing menu) -> R (browse) -> Settings tab -> Visitor settings. You can set the default setting for anyone who visits the house to Limited Visitor (as described above) or Visitor, Decorator, none (closed house). You can also specify players or guilds by name who have more or less access than the default you've set.
It's not ideal because you might want Limited Visitor to prevent someone from turning your lights off with EHT (on PC), but that also prevents them from opening doors. So it's something to plan around. I don't have any homes set to Limited Visitor on live, but I don't have them listed anywhere.PC-NA

Thanks for pointing out where to change the settings. I've never touched those barring the initial prompt when a house is purchased. And I always choose to set like in the first house I bought. I do not even remember what they were set to.0 -

This happened to me once, in 34 houses. So when I changed access to limited visitor I also had to leave doors open so visitors could see all the rooms.
Doors should really be separate from the lights, etc..PCNA4 -

Agree, I've sent this feature request in-game and elsewhere:
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/651712/Lock interactibles. Ideal example: 1. Lock all items (as is currently implemented) then 2. manually unlock specific items that would be OK for guests to use.
The closer we get to U43's launch, the more I'm actually dreading it (for the reasons described here.) I just don't want to feel pressured to interact with this system to participate in the housing community, nor answer "why can't I find your house in the HT menu?"
