User Authentication

[ninahauserberlin]

Hello team!

We love your package. As our tutorial is quite large, we want to minimize user access by building an authentication system around it. Is there a best practice to approach this? We are familiar with shinyauthr but are unsure how to connect it.

Thanks for your great work and all the best,
Nina

RStudio Connect is a paid product from RStudio that can serve learnr tutorials and Shiny apps with robust user access controls.

I think that similar access control can be achieved using shinyproxy but I haven't tried it and don't know for certain that it would work for your use case.

I've used shinyauthr before in a Shiny app, but I don't think that will work for learnr since you need to be able to control the shiny server logic to make the UI conditional on successful authentication.
