if there's a process I'm not understanding please clarify...

but
(a) i start up the compose stack, log in via web browser as a user . this is on a remote server .
(b) i go to settings and generate a credential
(c) i use that credential to set up my local dev env, editing my clearml.conf
(d) i repeat (b) and use that credential to start up a remote workers to serve queues .

am i misunderstanding something? if there's another way to generate credentials I'm not familiar with it .
