Yes, Webmin is browser- based. It has its own user authentication, so it does 
not matter what account you sign in from. Type http://host:10000 in any 
browser, 'host' being either the hostname or IP of the machine you're logging 
into. http://localhost:10000 on the local machine.

Various incarnations of Webmin behave differently; if http://localhost:10000 
doesn't bring up the login window, try either https://localhost:10000, or 
http://localhost:1000

it's well-documented, see
