Hi,

right now i am using Rstudio Connect free trial version as POC. And i want to ask you - what is the difference between named user and anonymous user ? If i paid the basic program of Rstudio Connect - for 100 named user, what does it mean ? It means, that i can have at most 100 registered user ? Or maximum users who can use shiny app is 100 users ?

And what about anonymous user ? It is every unregistered user ?

And if i have paid for 100 named user, how can i scale application ? I am scaling application against named user, or also anonymous user ? For example, if i set 30 R process, and i have 10 connection per process, and if e.g for every R process are 5 anonoymous users, and 5 named users, and if I have reach limit of users, and the next user is anonymous/named, my shiny application will not work ?

Thanks,
Tomas
