Author Scripts Author scripts.
Important: To save scripts and data functions as "trusted" in the library, a user must also be a member of the Script Author group. Because scripts can introduce errors or even cause the Spotfire applications to fail, only users that have sufficient competence to develop and deploy scripts should be allowed in the Script Author group.

Only scripts that are saved as "trusted" can be run in the web client, with an exception for simple data functions based on Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R, that can be executed in restricted mode.

For more information about the Script Author group, see System groups.
