Hi, Is it possible to set a different password for the ui dashboard than that of node red. I want to have node red accessible with one password and the dashboard with another. I am using a raspberry pi. If possible some instructions would be great.

In settings.js
The following is the section controls the node red password:
// Securing Node-RED
// -----------------
// To password protect the Node-RED editor and admin API, the following
// property can be used. See [http://nodered.org/docs/security.html](http://nodered.org/docs/security.html) for details.
//adminAuth: {
// type: "credentials",
// users: [{
// username: "admin",
// password: "$2a$08$zZWtXTja0fB1pzD4sHCMyOCMYz2Z6dNbM6tl8sJogENOMcxWV9DN.",
// permissions: "\*"
// }]
//},
Section of Settings.js which controls the Dashboard (UI) password:
//To password protect the node-defined HTTP endpoints (httpNodeRoot), or
//the static content (httpStatic), the following properties can be used.
// The pass field is a bcrypt hash of the password.
// See [http://nodered.org/docs/security.html#generating-the-password-hash](http://nodered.org/docs/security.html#generating-the-password-hash)
//httpNodeAuth: **{user:"user",pass:"$2a$08$zZWtXTja0fB1pzD4sHCMyOCMYz2Z6dNbM6tl8sJogENOMcxWV9DN."},**
Note: To edit node red setting.js file. Open file manager (folder icon on raspberry pi dashboard). In folder path bar, search - /home/pi/.node-red and open the setting file.
