Setting Posit Connect Sharing settings

[craigcerto]

Hi,

I am wondering if it's possible when using pin_upload to set by default the sharing settings for a Pin to be "Anyone - no login required" or "All users - login required"?

I have a process that uploads some log files to a Posit Connect pin board and would like everyone within the server to have download access to the log files without having to manually change the sharing settings for each pin.

Thank you!

Yes! If your Posit Connect instance allows it, you can share a pin publicly by setting access_type = "all" when you write or upload:

library(pins)

board <- board_connect()
#> Connecting to Posit Connect 2023.07.0 at <https://colorado.posit.co/rsc>
board |> pin_write(
    1:10, 
    "snazzy-numbers", 
    type = "json", 
    access_type = "all"
)
#> Writing to pin 'julia.silge/snazzy-numbers'

path <- fs::path_temp("some-letters.txt")
readr::write_lines(sample(LETTERS, size = 20), path)
pin_upload(
    board, 
    paths = path, 
    name = "snazzy-letters", 
    access_type = "all"
)

These are now available publicly on our demo server, and I did not have to change the access through the UI:

The options here for access_type are one of c("acl", "logged_in", "all"), and you can read more in the docs.
