Team Access From the Phone
Point a paired phone at a teammate and it takes on their Team role. The servers, apps and terminals they were granted are the only ones that appear.
How Team Access From the Phone Works
Team Access From the Phone is designed to be intuitive. Here's how you use it in Server Compass.
Pair the phone as usual
Turn on Remote access in Settings and pair the device by QR code, exactly as you would for personal use.
Bind the device to a member
Point the paired device at a teammate in the workspace. It adopts that member’s Team role rather than yours.
Only granted resources appear
The servers, apps and terminals they can reach are exactly the ones they were granted — nothing else is listed, not merely blocked on tap.
Expiry applies everywhere
The same grants and expiry times hold on the desktop, on the phone, and for AI assistants connected to Server Compass.
The Hard Way: Without Team Access From the Phone
No Team Access From the Phone? Get ready to memorize these terminal commands and pray you don't make a typo.
Put an SSH client and a private key on the phone
Reaching a server from a phone normally means copying a private key onto the device itself.
# on the phone: import id_ed25519 into a mobile SSH client
ssh -i /sdcard/keys/id_ed25519 [email protected]The key now lives on a device that travels, and it carries full account access with no scoping.
Or expose a management port to reach it remotely
The alternative is opening the server to the internet and defending it, rather than keeping SSH private.
sudo ufw allow from 0.0.0.0/0 to any port 22 proto tcp
sudo systemctl enable --now fail2banLimit what the phone can do — with sudoers, not with roles
Scoping mobile access to a subset of apps means hand-writing sudo rules that no one else can easily audit.
echo 'alex ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/docker compose -f /srv/ghost/compose.yml restart' \
| sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/alex-ghost
sudo visudo -cWhy Suffer? We Built Something Better
