Administering a second Channels DVR account from afar

Channels DVR Server
#1

I have helped several people setup Channels DVR systems.

One of these is not comfortable with the simplest tasks associated with managing the system—creating passes, deleting watched programs, changing favorites, etc.

I would like to maintain that system without having to trek across town.

I can manage my own system remotely, but I would like to manage this other system remotely. ( I have permission and authority.)

Ideally, I would like to call up the Channels Configure page for this other account remotely from Safari on my home iMac or iPad. Is that possible? How?

Just log in with their channels id and password on a different browser.

Presuming this is for people without remote access enabled. I am doing the same and am just using their community logins. Slightly inconvenient but its fine.
With Tailscale installed on the server machine, is that not adding complexity to their setup for non Channels usage

“Just log in with their channels id and password on a different browser,” seems to be the way to go.

I came to that conclusion about 15 seconds after I asked the question, but the support is reassuring.

Thank you Aero1R and kor.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I am paying attention. Just running behind.
