RStudio Cloud | Invite Learners | Instructor View
As you did to invite your co-instructors, go to the space's Members area to invite your students to your course space. The easiest approach is to enable access via a sharing link. - Click on the Sharing link option in the Access section - Set the Initial Role to Contributor - Click on the Copy Sharing Link action You can then distribute the sharing link to all your students via a course web page or email. Once all your students have joined the space, you can either reset the sharing link (which will disable access via the previous sharing link), or set Access to "Invitation Required" to ensure that nobody joins the class later without your permission. See the Members section in Shared Spaces above for more details and alternate methods for adding students to your space. Note that each student must have their own RStudio Cloud account. When they attempt to access your course space for the first time, they will be prompted to log in, or to sign up for an account if they don't already have one. If your organization is using SSO, account creation will happen automatically when they log in the first time. At this point, you and your students should be all set. ABOUT RSTUDIO CLOUD: RStudio Cloud is a lightweight, cloud-based solution that allows anyone to do, share, teach and learn data science online. Analyze your data using the RStudio IDE, directly from your browser. Share projects with your team, class, workshop or the world. Teach data science with R to your students or colleagues. Learn data science in an instructor-led environment or with interactive tutorials. There is nothing to configure and no dedicated hardware, installation or annual purchase contract required. Individual users, instructors and students only need a browser to do, share, teach and learn data science. We will always offer a free plan for casual, individual use, and we now offer paid premium plans for professionals, instructors, researchers, and organizations.

RStudio also produces RStudio Team, a modular platform of commercial software products that give organizations the confidence to adopt R, Python and other open-source data science software at scale, along with online services to make it easier to learn and use them over the web. Together, RStudio’s open-source software and commercial software form a virtuous cycle: the adoption of open-source data science software at scale in organizations creates demand for RStudio’s commercial software; and the revenue from commercial software, in turn, enables deeper investment in the open-source software that benefits everyone.

In the Adding Co-Instructors and Teaching Assistants video, we saw how to add members to our workspace one by one, but what if we want to add a large number of individuals to our space at once?
There are several ways to add multiple members to your workspace at once, and in this video we'll go through the sharing link option. Please check out the RS Cloud Package video if you're interested in learning how to add multiple members via the RStudio Cloud API.
Using a sharing link to invite learners
To add multiple individuals to our workspace, let's click on the Members button at the top of our workspace, and then click on Options to open the Access menu. From here, let's invite multiple individuals using the sharing link. This method will give us a link that we can distribute via email or on a course webpage, allowing all of our learners to access the workspace on RStudio Cloud.
For the initial role, we'll choose Contributor, and then take a look at the permissions at the bottom of the page. We can choose what contributors are allowed to do within the workspace by selecting or deselecting the options presented. Once we've made our selections, we can click on Copy Sharing Link and distribute it as needed.
Once all of our learners have joined the shared workspace, we can disable the existing link by resetting the sharing link or by setting our workspace to Invitation Required, which will mean new learners to the workspace will have to be added via the Add Member button from within the Members section of our workspace.
