We have an on-prem Posit Connect server running. We have several external organizations that want access to several applications on Posit Connect. What's the best way to set this up? Ideally, these organizations only see the content they're permitted to, so they'd have to be user-authenticated. Likewise, is it also possible to permit access to specific Posit Connect content WITHOUT having a user account within our organization? For instance, board members would like to have access too, without making an account.
@SD343 The primary challenge you'll face in managing several external organizations is that a single Connect server can only be configured with one identity provider for authentication. So unless you can get all the external organizations on a single identity provider, or set up some kind of auth federation, you're not going to be able to get them all user-authenticated. If you want to have a conversation with a solutions engineer about your options in this scenario you can reach out to your account manager at Posit to set that up.
For your second question,
is it also possible to permit access to specific Posit Connect content WITHOUT having a user account within our organization?
This is allowed for non-interactive content (content that doesn't require a running R or Python process for the visiting user) by sharing content at the "Anyone - no login required" level. Interactive content cannot be shared with anonymous users and must be authenticated to access unless you have a specialized license entitlement.
