Auth is the product, making data access simple with Workbench
summary
Posit Workbench manages and refreshes short-lived credentials for AWS, Azure, Databricks, and Snowflake and makes them available inside IDEs (RStudio, VS Code, JupyterLab soon). It injects configs and env vars and runs OAuth/OIDC flows so the AWS CLI, Databricks SDKs, Snowflake CLI and ODBC-based R tools just work without user-managed tokens. Jobs inherit refreshed creds so long-running jobs can pull cloud data, and Connect now picks up those credentials for seamless publishing.
