Password

Password Built-in (default)

Important

For most customers, use of the Password Authentication provider is not recommended. Integrating with your organization's existing authentication provider is recommended.

Before you begin:

  • RStudio Connect provides a simple Password Authentication provider which is usable without external integration.
  • It uses user accounts backed by the RStudio Connect database and is not integrated with any external, third-party authentication services.
  • It is the only authentication provider which allows users to change their passwords from within RStudio Connect.

Password Authentication makes it easy to get RStudio Connect up and running quickly but is really only appropriate when using RStudio Connect in one of these situations:

  • A demonstration or proof-of-concept in which RStudio Connect is being evaluated or explored.

  • Training users to use RStudio Connect.

  • Using RStudio Connect to do small-scale testing.

  • A small group of users without, or isolated from, a centralized IT system.

The RStudio Connect Admin Guide provides configuration information and examples for Password authentication here.

Additionally, the full list of external authentication options that are available are provided in the RStudio Connect Authentication Overview.
