Authentication

RStudio is now Posit!

Our professional products have been renamed to Posit Connect, Posit Workbench, Posit Package Manager, Posit Cloud, and Posit Academy so it’s easier for folks to understand that we support more than just R. Please review our Blog post/FAQ to answer commonly asked questions about the rebrand.

Posit Connect, formerly RStudio Connect, can integrate with a number of 3rd party products and authentication providers for user authentication.

Warning

Connect only supports one active authentication provider at a time. Migration from one to another is a non-trivial effort and may require both user and content conversion. It is sometimes easier (depending on what the system has been used for) to create a new Connect installation than it might be to migrate one. If migration, however, is the desired path, you can find further guidance at Changing Authentication Provider (Migration).
