dsTidyverseClient

This is the DataSHIELD implementation of selected Tidyverse functions. Currently most of these functions are from dplyr, however in the future functions from other Tidyverse packages can be included.

Installation

• Install dsTidyverse on your armadillo or opal server.
• Whitelist dsTidyverse if required
• Install dsTidyverseClient on your local machine

Privacy control levels

DataSHIELD implements privacy control levels, which allows data owners to control which functions can be used by researchers. The table below shows which dsTidyverse functions are permitted in which privacy mode.
