login_sb: Log into ScienceBase with your myUSGS credentials

In USGS-R/mda.streams: Data Preparation, Access, and Analysis Functions for the Powell Center Continental Stream Metabolism Project

Log into ScienceBase with your myUSGS credentials

Description

BE CAREFUL NOT TO POST OR SHARE YOUR PASSWORD! Even better, set up your ~/.R/stream_metab.yaml with fields for sb_user and sb_password so you never again have to bring your password into the R global environment. If that file exists and you call login_sb() with no arguments, the file contents will be used to log you in.

Usage

login_sb(username, filename = "~/.R/stream_metab.yaml")

Arguments

username

Your ScienceBase/myUSGS username, usually an email address

filename

DEPRECATED: The file path to a yaml file where fields for sb_user and sb_password can be found. This file will be ignored if username is given. INSTEAD of relying on a .yaml file, consider installing the secret package, creating a vault, and creating a secret called 'stream_metab' in that vault with fields for sb_user and sb_password. Configure the environment variables USER_KEY and R_SECRET_VAULT so that the defualts work for accessing the 'stream_metab' secret.

Details

Use the same username and password you set up via the ScienceBase interface or your government employer. This function is equivalent to sbtools::authenticate_sb but easier to type.
