**Is it possible to access node red dashboard on 2 different devices?**

I have created the Node red server on my **Rasberry Pi 3**. I have secured it with a username and password security authentication.  
Now I have opened 1 dashboard on Rasberry Pi same device which is having node red installed.  
now I want to access another **dashboard UI** on my android or Laptop.

is there a process available?

Thanking you.

There is only 1 dashboard. See the dashboard nodes ReadMe for further information

From the README:

> Multiple Users
> 
> This Dashboard does NOT support multiple individual users. It is a view of the status of the underlying Node-RED flow, which itself is single user. If the state of the flow changes then all clients will get notified of that change.
> 
> Messages coming from the dashboard **do** have a `msg.socketid` , and updates like change of tab, notifications, and audio alerts will be directed only to that session. Delete the `msg.sessionid` to send to all sessions.

So is it like I cant access just readme UI of dashboard also?

You can access the same dashboard from more than one computer, but you cannot access a different dashboard as a single instance of Node-RED can only have 1 dashboard installed.

Different devices can look at different pages of the dashboard at the same time of course.
