When using jsreport web client with TypeScript, the following errors are reported. Please consider expanding the type definitions to at least account for setting serverUrl and headers

jsreport.serverUrl = 'https://XXX.jsreportonline.net'
jsreport.headers['Authorization'] = "Basic " + Buffer.from("XXX:XXX").toString('base64');

TS2339: Property 'serverUrl' does not exist on type 'JsReportClient'.

TS7053: Element implicitly has an 'any' type because expression of type '"Authorization"' can't be used to index type '{}'.   Property 'Authorization' does not exist on type '{}'.

Currently a workaround is to break type safety:

const jsReport:any = jsreport;
jsReport.serverUrl = 'https://XXX.jsreportonline.net'
jsReport.headers['Authorization'] = "Basic " + Buffer.from("XXX:XXX").toString('base64');

I tried creating a new user, checked those boxes and now it works!

I noticed that if I don't have the boxes checked I get a 403 Forbidden rather then 401 Unauthorized which seems correct.

The first user I created still doesn't work, but that's not an issue for me.

I am looking to use direct browser calls to the server so I would like to use a username and password other than my root login credentials.

I noted in this instruction that this is the recommended approach:

Please understand the change of the administrator email can break your API calls in case you use it in the authorization header. In this case, we recommend creating a custom jsreport user and use it in the API calls instead.

I've created said user on my server, provided a password and checked all the permissions boxes, but I'm getting a 401 Unauthorized. When I switch to test with my root username and password it works fine.
