R Data Functions

The R programming language provides execution environments for running R scripts in an R engine that you have installed on a node manager. R data functions have access to the operating system and can run arbitrary commands.


Component	Description
Authorization	Members of the Script Author group can save data functions to be executed by other users. Spotfire Service for R runs in a node manager and is called using the Spotfire Server acting as a reverse proxy. It requires an authenticated Spotfire session.
Execution context	An R data function runs remotely only. Remote execution is when an R data function is sent from a Spotfire client, Spotfire Web Player service, or Spotfire Automation Services service to Spotfire Service for R (which runs on a node manager).
