RStudio Cloud | Roles | Instructor View
Each member of a space is assigned a role to determine what they are able to do within the space. The available roles are: Admin: can manage users, view, edit and manage all projects and view space usage data. Moderator: can view, edit and manage all projects, and view space usage data. Contributor: can create, edit and manage their own projects. This is the default. Viewer: can view projects shared with everyone in the space. A viewer cannot create or save copies of projects. Members are assigned an initial role when they are invited to or join a space, but roles can be changed by an Admin at any time. When you invite an individual member to a Invitation Required space, you set the initial role in the Add Member dialog box. When someone joins via a sharing link, their initial role is set to the current Initial Role setting in the members options panel. Admins can update a user’s role via the role selector in the members list. Changing permissions lets you fine-tune the Contributor and Viewer roles. The permissions are: Contributors can see the members list: enables Contributors to see who can access the space. Contributors can make their projects visible to all members: enables Contributors to share their projects with everyone in the space. Contributors can change project resources: enables Contributors to change RAM and CPU settings on their projects. Viewers can see the members list: enables Viewers to see who can acess the space.

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.

From within an RStudio Cloud workspace, there are four possible roles that an individual can occupy. As the creator of the workspace, we are given the default status of administrator, and we cannot change that status.
Administrators have full privileges within a workspace. Administrators can manage the workspace and all of the projects, including their own, and also view all of the projects within a workspace, including private projects.
Moderators have all of the same privileges as an administrator, except that moderators cannot add or remove learners from the workspace. This means that moderators can manage all of the projects as well as view all of the projects within a workspace.
Contributors can create and manage their own projects, and they can also view any projects that have been shared with them. As an administrator or moderator, we can also control whether or not contributors can see the names of other members in the workspace, make their projects visible to all members, and change project resources.
Viewers have the most restrictive permissions and can only view projects that have been shared with the workspace or with them as an individual. As an administrator or moderator, we can also control whether or not a viewer can see the names of other members in the workspace.
